do peonies do better in the sun or part shade?
Planting peonies in part shade means that they will probably flower somewhat later, and that they will produce fewer blossoms (than the same peonies planted in full sun).f they are, put more soil in the hole, and measure again. For potted peonies, the top of the soil in the pot should end up level with the surface of the soil in your garden. When you are satisfied that the peony is at the right depth, fill up the hole with your soil mixture.
