In places where it is very hot and humid during the summer, do the Chinese peonies need special attention?
The Chinese peonies prefer cool and dry weather and good drainage. In a lowland and plain area during the summer where accumulated rainwater can cause root rot, it can be fatal. However, you could provide better drainage by planting it on a gentle slope or in a raised flowerbed. If you could plant your Chinese peonies in partially shady highland site with good drainage and good ventilation, even in places where the heat is intense during the summer, the Chinese peonies are able to bloom for you in the spring.
