I don't think I'll ever have lots to share about nice fall foliage here, unfortunately, with all of our summer hail storms. The only peony foliage that looks decent into fall for me are the NOIDs I have under the pine trees! I really need to put them somewhere else that allows more sun but that area would be too barren without them. Maybe I can have a big boulder put in the area and build up the soil just a bit to allow more moisture for some hostas and daylilies; pine trees suck every bit of water out of the soil which is fairly poor in the first place.
Did you guys take a look at the rest of the Southern Peony Blog? She had some interesting experiments with rooting really small pieces of Itoh peonies, think they're back in 2013 and 2014. And she just posted an article about pruning Itohs in the south, here's the link to that one. http://www.southernpeony.com/2...
Even though we're far too cold to use a lot of the info I enjoy her excitement about peonies and enjoy reading about her new acquisitions every year, as well as seeing yet more bloom pics!
