Average Plant Size

With maturity, Allen Rogers peonies typically grow to a height of 2 to 3 feet. Certain conditions may cause some varieties to grow slightly taller.

Planting

When preparing to plant Allen Rogers peonies, choose a location that receives full sun to partial shade. It is important that the soil is well-drained and rich in organic matter. Be sure to space the plants 2 to 3 feet apart to allow for proper air circulation and to accommodate their mature size. When planting bare-root peonies, make sure to set the eyes (buds) of the root about 1 to 2 inches below the soil surface. In colder climates, consider planting them slightly deeper. Prior to planting, enhance the soil with compost or well-rotted manure to improve its fertility and drainage. Avoid planting in areas that are prone to waterlogging as this can lead to root rot. Keep the soil consistently moist, but not waterlogged, by providing regular watering, especially during dry periods. As the peonies grow, use stakes or cages for support to prevent the heavy blooms from bending or breaking the stems.
