I’m still a peony apprentice but do tons of research. I’m in Colorado, zone 5b and plant my peonies 1-2 inches below the surface and they have all done well. The plants receiving full sun do best.
I suggest 2 FANTASTIC books that made all the difference: “Peony” by Michener and Adelman and “How Not to Kill a Peony” by Stephanie Walker.
I also suggest buying roots only from peony farmers such as Adelman. Below are photos of roots I received last fall. The healthy/robust roots are from Adelman. The other roots were not. Source to remain nameless...
