Paeonia tenuifolia rubra (Fern Leaved Peony) HELP please

15 years ago

after reading so many posts about this much loved peony, i broke down and invested $50 in a teeny tiny plant!!

please answer a few questions to insure i do the right thing. many thanks!

1) is morning sun alone ok? i have sun from 6 until 11 or do i have to rearrange the sun garden plants to make room for my latest addition?

2) does this do better if not at the front of the garden? it looks so fragile and wisp like? plus it dies back in early fall?

3) how long will it take for my 5 inch plant to become a pretty little bush?

4) add lots of compost to the soil right away and they again every year? (do you wait til it comes up in the spring and then turn over the compost around it??)

5) do most of you use mulch to cover your soil (shredded hardwood, cocoa bean, etc) thanks again!! halm
