This year’s peony went well with the peony having not only
more flowers but bigger bloom as well. The peony plant itself is much bigger and
healthier. It is growing bigger and healthier every season.
The plant was trimmed late winter and started to grow shoots
early spring with full leaves by middle of the spring. It started to bloom as
early as mid spring which lasted for almost a month.
I deadheaded the spent flowers about late spring with the
green leaves lasting early December. If the plant is situated properly with
enough sunlight, it will last and bloom for decades. Peonies rarely need to be
divided; the plant I have still does not need to be divided.
Those are nice looking yellow peony, unusual for Southern California weather for that big of a peony.
ReplyDeleteThey look nice and lovely but peonies are not native to Southern California, why plant something not native to a place? It would be easier to garden if you plant something native to an area.
DeleteThat's the challenge for gardeners to propagate a plant not native to an area and be successfull doing it.
DeleteWhy plant in a location something that is not native to the location? Not easy to care for and not good for biodiversity.
DeleteOne of the best yellow peony I have seen.
ReplyDeleteDouble peonies look much better, they are so plump and big flowers.
DeleteLovely peony, the yellow color is so vibrant.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't this plant requires a lot of water?
