Water: Keep the soil moist for recently planted peony 'Golden Glow', avoiding overwatering to prevent root rot. Water thoroughly as spring buds expand, and once or twice before blooming. Ensure adequate moisture during summer and water before fall and winter to protect future blooms and prevent frost damage.

Fertilize: Peony 'Golden Glow' thrives with proper fertilization, requiring three applications yearly: early spring, post-flower wilt, and in fall/winter. Use shallow ditches for application, avoid high-concentration fertilizers and manure, and refrain from fertilizing in summer to prevent damage.

Pruning: Peony 'Golden Glow' features vibrant blooms and lush foliage. Prune in early spring by removing dead stems and thinning to enhance airflow. Cut back one-third of older stems. Regular pruning boosts blooms and minimizes disease. Use sharp, clean tools for effective cuts.

Propagation: Peony 'Golden Glow' propagates through division, cutting, or sowing, with division being fastest. Optimal division occurs in fall, allowing for quick recovery. Cut the plant, apply sulfur powder, and let it dry for 1-2 days. Keep dug plants outdoors for 30-50 days before transplanting.
