3. Support Growth
Peonies don’t need any extra support as a rule in order to achieve happy growth, but this doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t be doing it; if you have one of the larger and bushier varieties of peony that we mentioned earlier on in this article, then you should know that the plants can greatly benefit from physically supporting their growth with simple wire-frames planted in the ground.
If you live in an area that’s subject to a lot of weather and wind, luckily peonies are a type of flower that doesn’t mind this much – but the windier weather can sometimes cause damage to the peony stalks and they are best protected against it if you have had any issues with wind and damage to plants in your garden before.
Luckily, wind is one of the only factors that you’ll generally have to guard your peonies against as they aren’t generally considered to be a target for pests.
