📅 Seasonal Availability & Behaviour
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🌸 Spring (Feb – Apr):
New red shoots emerge. Flower buds develop rapidly and bloom in March–April. Feed now.
☀️ Summer (May – Jun):
Foliage stays green but plant rests. In hot semi-arid cities like Delhi and Jaipur (peak 42–47°C), the plant may go dormant early — water less and shield from harsh afternoon sun.
🌧️ Monsoon (Jul – Sep):
Ensure sharp drainage — soggy soil causes crown rot. Raise the planting bed if needed.
🍂 Autumn (Oct – Nov):
Foliage turns yellow and dies back. Cut down to ground level and top-dress with compost.
❄️ Winter (Dec – Jan):
Complete dormancy — this cold spell is essential for flower buds. The colder your winter, the better the blooms.
🛒 Best Time to Buy & Plant: October to February. Winter planting gives the roots time to establish before spring.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Q: Will the plant survive shipping?
A: Yes! We use special packaging designed for live plants. Dormant peonies actually travel very well.
Q: Is this plant safe for pets?
A: No — peonies are mildly toxic if chewed. Keep out of reach of pets.
Q: What colour will I get?
A: This is a random colour pack — you may receive pink, white, coral, magenta or crimson. Exact colour reveals at first bloom.
Q: Can I grow this in Delhi or Bangalore?
A: Bangalore (subtropical, peak 34–38°C) is borderline — possible in cool microclimates. Delhi and other hot semi-arid cities (peak 42–47°C) are not suitable. Peonies need cold-winter dormancy and thrive in Shimla, Darjeeling, Gangtok, Manali and other cold/semi-temperate hill cities.
Q: When will it flower for the first time?
A: Usually in the second or third spring after planting. The first year focuses on root establishment.
Q: Do you provide a care guide?
A: Yes! Every order comes with a free, detailed care guide written specifically for this plant.
Q: Is this good for beginners?
A: Yes, if you live in a cold/semi-temperate zone. Once established they are essentially maintenance-free.
Q: Can I keep this indoors?
A: No — peonies need outdoor conditions and cold winter dormancy to flower.
Q: When is the best time to plant this?
A: October to February. Autumn planting is best for long-term success.
Q: How fast does this plant grow?
A: Medium grower. Takes 2–3 years to reach flowering maturity, then blooms reliably every spring.
Q: What size pot do I need?
A: A minimum 14–16 inch pot for a mature plant. Ground planting is strongly preferred for long-term success.
