Pwinjet, thanks for the compliments! You are really fortunate to have such good choices for plants. It's sad that I don't see peonies being grown in many gardens around here, and I had not seen the plants offered here in nurseries before, like I do now. I have lived in my current neighborhood for 9 years, I have not seen a single peony plant except in my own garden.
I don't know why some people dont think that peonies would do well in the south, but I have been very happy with how well they have done here. I'm glad I'm a zone pusher!
I'm going to check our local nurseries this weekend to see if there are any peony plants for sales. They tend to promote the peonies in the spring, so maybe I'll find some good buys.
Annette
