I took them for granted. He gifted me with a few starts that we have at our home. I agree that the older varieties are hardier.

We planted it by our back door and it has gorgeous white flowers that smell divine! It seems to bloom earlier than most other varieties.<br /><br />I have always heard that cut peony flowers often have ants on them…I am thrilled to know that it is not always true. Yours are beautiful!<br /><br />Enlisting the help of a master gardener who is also a neighbor sounds like a win-win! Enjoy!<br /><br />Maybe your One Room Challenge this Fall could be a Backyard Retreat complete with a glorious pink peony hedge!!! xoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8564993811758796530.post-16055889383844684072015-05-13T12:02:16.953-04:002015-05-13T12:02:16.953-04:00My grandmother had a huge bush of them so I think ...My grandmother had a huge bush of them so I think of her every time I see them. They would not grow well in our yard.<br /><br />I'll bet the master gardener would love to help you plant some. She'd probably love to see more peonies established in the neighborhood.<br /><br />What a great gift from your kids!Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18029198065089284809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8564993811758796530.post-91661605323027953302015-05-13T10:49:05.308-04:002015-05-13T10:49:05.308-04:00I have found great luck with old peonies.

Much hardier than newer varieties.<br />Happy planting....<br />Kelly (aka mermaidgirl20 on insta)Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17496041823524106265noreply@blogger.com
