- Peonies are so beautiful... they smell good, they have lots of blooms and they look amazing in almost any garden. BUT they don't always thrive in the south! They need cold time (which we don't get), they hate heat (which we DO get) and who wants to plant something beautiful just to watch it die? NOT ME! So here are my top 5 tips for planting beautiful peonies in the south (SUCCESSFULLY!).

I have great luck with regular peonies in the South. Full sun. I've never used ice, but I always feed them with wood ashes in the winter and spring.
Thank you so much for this video. I just moved to Louisiana from Utah and I need peonies again.
I’m in 9b 🙋🏻♀️I’m still trying 💖that’s how we learn. So far we got lucky here in California and our winter has had basically 30 degree daily winter and even got snow this year. So far so good, everyone is waking up and beginning to grow leaves and stems 💖
Good luck ! I hope you get lots of blooms in the future.
Good luck! Sounds like you had quite a bit of cold this year... we only had a few cold days but they were well under 30 so hopefully that helped. Everything is putting up leaves and stems here so we'll just have to cross our fingers and wait on blooms.
How did your peonies do in their first year? I didn’t see any updates other than in a March update video.
I’m glad I found your channel. I am in zone 8b in Louisiana! I have 4 peony shrubs and I’ve only ever had 1 bloom. I have moved them several times… they are still hanging on. Thanks for the tips!
I hope this helps! My great grandma had a beautiful garden in Louisiana... one day I hope to grow up to be just like her. Mom says Nana always iced her peonies so hopefully it helps your peonies to bloom more!
I’ve just found your channel! Thank you so much for the tips! I’ve got my grandmother’s peonies from WV. My Mama dug them up, transplanted them to TN and then over the border into KY! Mama has had these well over 30 years! I’ve just dug those up and am going to try my hand at growing these beautiful peonies in Santa Rosa County, FL. We are also zone 8b🙏
Everything grows well in Kentucky...indoors and out.
Hi Lisa- WELCOME to Walton county- (I live across the bridge)hope your babies did/do well-
Thank you for such wonderful videos i really enjoy watching you gardening outside
Thank you for your video 💕 I am in the process of doing my researching on how to care for peonies in the south and I think now I'm going to just copy your notes😅 Super informative and helpful 👍💗
I am so happy I found your channel because am also in zone 8B Texas, I love peonies and have planted them about two years ago and last year, I planted the roots, and potted ones as well. last year I got flower some flower from the ones I got on a pot, but nothing from roots yet hope to get a good amount of flower this year. good luck with your new peonies.
I'm so glad this was helpful, I bet your peonies will be beautiful soon! I can't wait to get flowers on mine!
Please, am in 8b too… how large of a pot did you plant it in… have them in small pots from Costco but will put them in a bigger pot soon but any tip will be helpful
Thank you so much for your video. I also live in zone 8b Texas this is my first year to plant a peonies I love them when I go up to Michigan to visit family so I too will see how it goes 🤞 . I’ll try that ice tip also
I'm glad it helped! We moved a lot before this (army brat) and I loved the peonies my Mom grew in Colorado so I was sad when they weren't doing well here. I'm hoping that with a little attention to detail these will thrive! So far my two Jacorma plants are doing fantastic and the Shirley Temple tubers I planted are also leafing out... so maybe we'll have flowers in a year or two! Good luck in Texas!
When do you ice them though?
I'm from Oneonta Al zone 7b north Alabama mountains this is my first year with peonies very nervous thanks for the video
I live Huntsville Al peony growing very here.
Any updates?
I'll do a specific peony update once the plants get bigger but I just uploaded my March Garden Tour and I do show the tubers growing at the end.
How many time I need to feed fertilizer in a year and when should I feed?
I have a friend in sunny Valdosta Ga. Very little chilly weather. But when visiting, in April, saw (and cut some huge blooms to float) that were thriving. How is this possible? Also it was a tall, bushy shrub.
I couldn't tell you... sometimes things just work even though they're not suppose to. I have plants that thrive at my house and die at my mom's even though we're 10 minutes apart with the same weather. Maybe it was babied and had ice when it was a little plant... typically once somethings established it needs way less TLC so now that it's a huge thriving plant it can just do it's thing. I'm hoping I can get mine to that point some day!
I’m in Valdosta and hoping to grow peonies for my wedding! I’m a 2025 bride 😊
