I've had a 15ft oval full off peonies at the base of my flag poles for 15yrs. they are packed in pretty tight and I have built a white picket fence that is about 2ft tall all the way around the oval. this helps support the heavy flowers.
I bought a Peony plant a couple months ago a squirrel got into the pot and buried a Walnut breaking the Plant in two both halves survived and look good but have not grown Much at all. When can i expect some buds on the plants or does it take a year for them to Grow and get bigger?
Hi I'm from Grees and love very much peonies!!!!!but hear its only one or two kalor! I don't speak very well English but your phone its very beautiful!!!do you speaking Greek??
Are the tree peonies also available for purchase as a root ball like the herbaceous variety? If so, is/are there any recommendations for where I should by them? I'm zone 4 @ ND
Can you grow them from seed, the herbaceous ones , I know that the tree peonies are hard to grow from seed. Can you keep the seed pods and grow and dry them ?
Stephanie Murray no. Peonies are grown bare / tubers. Don’t plant TOO deep otherwise it may not flowers. 1-2 inches of cover soil from the highest green leaf or “bloom” you see on the tuber / bare room . I would always choose getting a grown plant with visible blooms or buds at the big box store so you’re not waiting years possibly to see big luscious flowers.
@@autumnroberts3086 Thank you for your reply. So if you cannot grow them from seed then how are they propogated ? through division ? or root cuttings ? I would like to fill my garden with them, I am moving house and have jsut had to dig up two plants and pot them, one has still decided to bloom, the other one has decided not too but the plant is still doing ok. I saw them for sale bare rooted in Amsterdam on a visit but they didn't look alive to me so I didn't buy them. Instead I bought 100 peony flower tulip bulbs but when they flowered it was a scam and they came up as the ordinary ones, still nice but hardly the point !! I hope that the garden center near my new house has some in stock. Best wishes from France xo
Mine have beautiful leaves but no buds? They are full sun and not planted too deeply. I don’t understand why I’m not getting flowers. I live in NC and it’s doesn’t get to terribly cold in the winter, could that be why?
keep tubers in a shallow pot burried in you garden. When the leaves have died completely dig out the pot and put entire pot with tubers undisturbed into the fridge for two weeks (temperature needs to be between 2-5 degrees Celsius). After two weeks of cooling holiday in the fridge plant the pot back in the garden for a wonderful spring flowers to enjoy. Repeat every year.
Help! My peony have 5 months that I plant the root and it grows 5 inches but now the leaves are getting brown and is not growing at all! My zone it's 9 and I have it on full sun.
I make cages from two inch x five inch spaced welded-fencing, cut about two feet tall to three tall. I cut a circular piece to fit on top for really tall stemed varieties. The cages last forever and look nice, and keep the blossoms straight.
During a trip to the flower market in Amsterdam I saw huge crates of bare root peonies for sale at a good price but honestly they looked dead. I did buy 100 tulip bulbs that looked just like peonies when in bloom but when they came out they were just the ordinary kind ! NOT buying from them again !
Beautiful video, except the speaker's high, strained voice, is having to compete with the high-pitched and very busy music. The music is telling one story, while the speaker is telling another one. It's like trying to process the speech of two women accustomed to talking over each other: a person ends up hearing nothing said by either one (while becoming extremely irritated).
@@greendragonkungfuproductio8719 Depending on which member of our household posted that, their/our/my mother would definitely NOT have taught us anything of the sort. Betsy Bloomingdale and CZ Guest may have had needlepoint pillows saying, "Never Complain. Never Explain". But in our houses, the pillows said things like, "If you can't say anything nice, come sit by ME."
I love my peonies, but when I cut the flower and bring them in my house--I get ants in my kitchen. Do you have any suggestions to get rid of the ant before bringing the flowers into my home. Thanks
When you go outside to cut some flowers off, take a bucket or bowl of water with you. Cut the flower off the stem, and dip it's face in the bowl of water for a few minutes, gently shake the water (holding the flower upside down), the ants should fall right off. :)
@@oomma5 you will want to cut the flowers When they first get big and full. Gently dip the face of the flower in the bowl of water. Also, dip the cut part of the stem in the water. Let the flower drip dry, you can even gently shake, the petals should not fall off. It will keep you from welcoming any hitch-hikers into your home :)
Tiffany Vu you cut when the flowers are barely open and not yet too soft from opening. This extends the vase time. You can speed up the bloom by trimming the end and putting it into warm water in your vase. A bucket of water really is the best way to remove ants.
