Herbaceous Peony in a container

Well yes you can, they are not the easiest plant to choose as they do require attention in pots.. Herbaceous Peonies have large roots so you will need a very big pot for a smallish plant.. You must have excellent drainage, but they are heavy feeders, so you have to be very careful of root rot.. Also you must not let them spend time below freezing.. Although they do need freezing temps to promote next flowering.. when in pots though do not let them freeze solid as you will get root rot then too.. So they would need to be protected if temps were to be below freezing for any length of time & never never let them freeze solid..Hope that helps you decide..

 

Well, it's certainly a thing to try, but I don't think you will get the Peony to flower to it's full potential. You also might find it will take a season or two to for it to bud and flower. Let us know how you get one if you do go ahead as I for one would be very interested.:D
