plant your peony just below the surface of soil. I no its dumb , but they will not bloom if covered more that one or two inches.
Sandy soil? Water once a week . Your dry -hot weather in Nebraska is not so good. They like sun and a lite shade in afternoon if you have hot weather.
Ants: They eat the sap the peony puts out on their flowers so leave them alone or they may not OPEN. This act of ants helps the flower to open. it will take maybe 2 or 3 years for you to get flowers when tubers are planted.
I don't feed mine anything except maybe ground up egg shells every year.
I transplant mine in early spring or plant them in early spring like mid may.
