Know before you buy
A bareroot plant is shipped dormant without soil around the roots. This is a standard, healthy way to ship perennials, as it allows the plant to establish itself directly into your garden soil immediately upon planting.
Since this variety reaches a mature size of 3 feet by 3 feet, you should space them at least 3 feet apart. This ensures proper airflow, which helps keep the foliage healthy and prevents potential fungal issues.
Peonies often focus their energy on root development during the first season. While you may see some growth, it is common for them to take one or two full growing seasons to establish and produce their signature 5-6 inch blooms.
The 'Pink Hawaiian Coral' is known for its sturdy stems, but because the blooms are quite large and heavy, they may benefit from a support hoop or stake if your garden is in a particularly windy area.
While they are best suited for the ground, you can grow them in a very large, deep container with excellent drainage. Ensure the pot is at least 15-20 gallons to accommodate the root system and provide adequate winter insulation.
Leave the foliage intact throughout the summer and into the fall, as the leaves are gathering energy for next year's growth. You can prune the foliage back to the ground only after it has turned brown following the first hard frost.
