I finally got all of my peonies planted yesterday. We've had crazy weather here, freezing for several days then it warmed up to the low 70's this past week, with rain for days.
I planted the last 7 Fina Garden tubers, and the 3 Moonstone tubers, that were on my deck for months, sitting in the bags of peat. The pips were increasing nicely.
I had 6 potted peonies in 1 gallon pots, that I bought this past spring, that were also planted yesterday, and 4 plants in pots, from very small tubers that I grew. I was thrilled to see that these tiny tubers had done so well, and has grown nice feeder roots, some almost filling the pots.
