Part sun works, with fewer blooms. Give it fertile, well-drained soil with some compost mixed in. Set the crown so the pink buds, called eyes, sit no more than 5 cm (2 in) below the soil surface. Planted deeper, peonies tend to sulk and skip blooming. Water regularly through the first season, then only during long dry spells. The flowers are lighter than big doubles, but a peony ring placed in early spring still helps after heavy rain. Ants on the buds are normal and do no harm. In fall, cut the stems to the ground and clear away the leaves to reduce diseases such as botrytis. Peonies dislike being moved. If you must divide, do it in early fall, keeping three to five eyes per piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHistory:\u003c\/strong\u003e 'Bowl of Beauty' was raised by Hoogendoorn in the Netherlands and dates to 1949. Its Japanese-form flowers have a ring of normal petals around a centre of staminodes, which are stamens that have turned into narrow, petal-like strips.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinal Thoughts:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spectacular in a vase and ignored by deer.
