Hi All!  Just bought a beautiful peony plant (Bartzella).Hi All! Just bought a beautiful peony plant (Bartzella). Our garden is west facing so not loads of sun. Is it best in a pot in the sun or will it manage the shadier border?

They can tolerate shade but flower best in sun. Keep an eye on it, they can be rather hungry and thirsty plants.

@hawkinson thankyou Joanne. Have planted in but will see how it fares and keep an open mind. The soil shouldn't be a problem. Its more the amount of sun. Fingers crossed ☀️ x

Definitely sun! The more sun the better, if you decide to plant it in the garden they don’t like to be planted deep.
