Tips & Tricks for overwintering Peonies (Paeonia)
Overwintering potted Peonies follows similar principles as other perennials, though certain parts of the process can be fine-tuned for optimal care.
Location
Ideally, keep Paeonies in a hoop or poly house with ventilation options. Ventilation prevents early growth of the eyes during dormancy in case of temperature fluctuations, supporting healthy root development. When keeping Peonies outside, monitor weather conditions closely. Cover pots during sudden cold snaps or extreme conditions. Prevent the soil from freezing solid and ensure roots remain firmly in the soil for healthy growth.
Temperature Requirements
Fall-potted peonies require 500-700 hours at 32-37ºF for vernalization. Plants imported from the Netherlands after January 1 don’t require this and have been vernalized already. After this cold period, Peonies grow best naturally and cool, without additional heating. Good ventilation is important.
Watering
Peonies are sensitive to overwatering! Overwatering, or allowing the soil to become soggy, can lead to root rot. After the initial watering, wait until the plants begin to emerge before watering again. During growth, water as needed (the soil should be neither too dry nor too wet).
