Your peony may need a few years to establish itself before you begin to see the promised beautiful blooms, especially if you started with a peony root. As with the bare root plants, adding some compost to your soil will help the peony get started. How long do peonies take to grow? If your peony bush is too large to use grow through plant supports, then you can create a DIY peony cage using plant stakes and ties. You might also consider creating rings or lines of stakes around a clump, or several peony clumps, with natural twine or other strings between them. 2) Plant Support Hoops The most sustainable and eco-friendly solutions are those using natural or reclaimed materials, which you may already have lying around.

Natural materials like stakes and string or materials like corten steel tend are my go-to materials for unobtrusive but effective supports.” To prevent the plant from rotting, don’t cover the crown or have the mulch touching the stems. Fertilizer Supports may not always be essential, and you may be able to get away without them if you are growing shorter cultivars or are growing them in a particularly sheltered spot.

Don't forget: while rusty plant supports are a classic at the moment, it's best to choose whichever you think will work best in your garden. Think about whether you want to make a feature out of the plant supports, or whether you want the peony to be the main attraction.
