You have a handsome garden, Annette. You must have flowers throughout the growing months. Do you post on other forums? I'd be interested in seeing non-peony related pics as well!
I love clematis. It grows well here, but deer sure do enjoy eating it. I had bought one and planted it and the deer ripped it out of the soil trying to eat it all. I thought it was dead, but the roots still touching the soil were enough to revive the plant, which the deer then ate as well. lol. I replanted what was left for the heck of it and next spring, it produced new leaves. What a survivor! I put it in a small pot on the balcony and it is growing without fear
