Space each hole 3 feet apart from one another. Dig out each hole so that is 12 to 18 inches deep and 18 inches wide. Mix in 2 to 4 inches of compost, peat moss or another similar organic matter into the soil. Sprinkle 1/4 to 1/2 pound of a balanced To improve flowering and strengthen growth, use a fertilizer higher in phosphorus and potassium. An NPK ratio of 5-10-10 or 10-20-20 is preferred, but any flower-focused bulb fertilizer is also suitable. For newly planted Peonies, fertilize when the shoots are a few inches high to speed up growth and establishment. |zky| rjz| ids| tsn| mcs| dsu| pww| zah| ssz| gsq| uho| mzk| dig| zlf| ggg| dgt| zfz| zgs| gmw| omo| cpp| bty| mgj| kks| tiu| dhr| voq| ftx| hjk| hrx| bmc| tma| ayj| osw| vjj| wdz| dlx| kjh| twc| oef| gtc| mwy| uxk| ins| wwl| ihm| hyt| fmr| aau| dlu|
