Avoid high-concentration fertilizers, fecal water, and summer applications to prevent damage and diseases.

Pruning: Peony 'First Arrival' is a vibrant perennial that benefits from early spring pruning to remove damaged stems and promote healthy growth. Post-flowering, cut old foliage to ground level. Clean tools to prevent disease, improve air circulation, and encourage vigorous blooms. Consult horticultural guides for detailed care.

Propagation: Peony 'First Arrival' can be propagated by division, cutting, and sowing, with division being the quickest method.
