You can plant peony roots anytime before the ground freezes. If you haven't gotten your roots in the ground, now is the time.
The Heartland Peony Society has something special for you, our biannual root sale takes place Saturday Nov. 8. This is a great opportunity to purchase roots of over a hundred different varieties and more than 1,600 roots available. If you are a peony lover, you won't want to miss it!
Members of the Heartland Peony Society are able to take advantage of our yearly meeting and peony auction of rare varieties (27 varieties) the night before the root sale, Friday Nov. 7. If you are interested in becoming a member, fill out this form and bring it along, or send in the mail.
Fall Checklist- time to get everything tucked in the ground for the winter

Cutting all foliage protects the integrity of the plants by avoiding fungus and powdery mildew from getting into the root and plant structure. Be sure to throw all foliage away or burn, you do not want to contaminate your compost. quick video on cutting
Get all new roots in the ground. You can do this anytime before the ground freezes. Check out this web page with a downloadable tuturial. Julie Pal Peonies Planting
