planting peonies, first time, soil, etc, ....

Mansfield Center, CT(Zone 5b)

hi, new here, i will be receiving about 12 different peonies next week from mail.. My question is that i bought 2 of each plant and would like to know if I should or could plant the 3-5 eyes together so a larger plant will grow? Also, any special soil amendments? I plan to add peat and bonemeal tro my beds... thanks

IMHO, I would not plant them together, A peony root mass can get quite huge as anyone who has worked with them knows, a chance of over crowding may result.

It seems my Peonies have thrived on neglect, after starting with a good amended soil with compost and manure.
