I can attest to the longevity...my grandmother raised me and I bought my home place 30 years ago, I have lived here for 48 years of my life and her 2 huge peony plants have been here longer than I have, so...
Wow ! You're lucky to have a grandmother to raised you. I lost my mom when I was 3 years old. I have only 1 picture of her. So take care of those peonies. it is a very special gift.
I love Peonies, and three years ago I divided my peony and did pretty bad job( some parts had only one eye). I planted them anyway and this year they finaly started producing flower buds. So,note to anyone who is like me: Just be patient, it will get there. Sending hugs from Croatia❤🌸❤
@@Wolf-xu1fj We buried some with no eyes anyway and one day (maybe 2 years later) they all sprang up and flowered. Just don't burry them too deep or you will not get any flowers.
My neighbor planted Peonies way before I came in 1986, sometime after 1942. I own her home now and happy to report the Peonies are still growing and blooming. I think of her often.
When I moved into my house, there were peonies and sedum in the shade and hostas in the hottest, sunniest part of the yard 😅 learning how to transplant things was a game changer! My peonies are much happier now
I am in the middle of swapping sedum and spiderworts. I planted the sedum in full sun, but then the birds decided we needed a mulberry tree right there😂 Needless to say, 5 years in they have been flopping for 2 years, and I didn't realize the spiderwort preferred shade. Moving some hostas too.
Thanks for information. My delivery of peony roots came in early November one night before a snow storm. I was very worried that they couldn’t establish roots. I can see some growth this spring. It is so hard to wait three years to cut stems. I look forward to your video each week. Your hair cut is attractive. Please keep us flower growers advised with your wisdom and experience. Thanks, Judith
Great video! I love peonies! I transplanted my Sarah Bernhardt and brought it to our new home three years ago. She still blooms like crazy! I bought a few single petal ones this year and going to plant around our gazebo. I'm hoping for a pretty show next year. I have them in pots now and they are doing really well. Can't wait!
I just moved into a new house and to my joy and surprise, two peonies started growing from the soil in the front yard! I think one of them might have been planted too deep but the other has buds already and I’m so excited!
Hi Thank you for the information on Peonies. I just Love my Peonies. It is so nice ce to,see you again. Happy Gardening my sweet friend. So until next time God Bless you and your family and have a Blessed evening and stay safe my dear and Special Friend.
So timely! When we moved here, we inherited a peony in a VERY shady spot & it's never bloomed. I've been meaning to transplant it for years but just never gotten around to it. This is the year that I promised myself I would get that done. After all these years of only seeing foliage, I'm very excited to eventually see what colour it is, lol!!
@@mona0monik I'm not transplanting it until the fall - not sure if it will flower next spring after the shock of being moved, but I'll still keep my fingers crossed for that!
Thanks for sharing. I’m learning so much from your videos. Love both herbaceous and tree peonies, especially the tree peonies. I have been collecting Chinese and Japanese tree peonies in my front yard. Hopefully they all grow well and beautifully for decades.
Thanks for the video! I bought and planted some bare root tubers this year and the planting instructions said to plant 6” deep. Looks like I’ll have a little project to dig up and bring them closer to the surface. Happy gardening!
I so appreciate how much you educate yourself on topics you discuss and then share the knowledge. I always feel like I learned something even after years of gardening!
Peonies are lovely. My husband is a great lover of poetry but never was much interested in flowers. It was a revelation to him when he actually saw what Keats described as the "globed peony." Anyway, for us lazy gardeners, I have been experimenting with Itoh peonies (a cross between tree and old-fashioned) as they are not supposed to flop. We'll see what happens when they start really blooming. Thanks for another informative video!
Hi Danielle, it's always so enjoyable to listen to your videos, you have inspired me to get out in my own garden and try new perennials, bulbs, and cut flowers. Now I know how to divide my peony bush. You always have great advice and information to share with all of us. Thank you, 😍
I live in South Carolina, Zone 8. I went to the nursery and the lady advised me that I should plant my peony in partial shade. I have one that I planted from the nursery about 8 years ago and I have it in full sun. It bloomed the 1st few years only. Peonies are my absolute favorite flower and I would love to see some peony flowers in my garden. I try the partial shade to see if that works and this fall, I'll move the one that I have in full sun to partial sun to see that will work. Crossing fingers. So glad that I came across your channel, Danielle. I'm obsessed with your garden!
My favorite flower too. I love everything about them the fragrance is heavenly too. I just did a count today and I’ve got 67! I have several that have seeded themselves. I just wish they didn’t all bloom at the same time. I want to savor them longer. You look particularly beautiful today. I love your hair cut!
Hi Danielle, First, I want to say I love your haircut and color! So refreshing! That length is pretty on you. Secondly, I wanted to let you know that I learn so much from your videos. I started some peonies last fall and a couple more this spring. I can't wait until they are all thriving. Your garden is just so beautiful and peaceful. Have a great evening.
Peonies are beautiful but very expensive here. I'd love to have a show of them somewhere in my front garden. BTW, your soil is looking soooo rich and loamy. Excellent for planting and direct propagating. Great advice on how to plant and divide peonies. 😊 thanks, Jo. You must have been building it up for years with compost and mulch.
Thank you Danielle. I planted a bareroot peony once in my garden with no success. This gave me an in-depth understanding to plant for success in case I will try one more time.🥰
Hi Danielle! Thanks so much for this informative video. I love peonies and have about 16 different varieties in my garden. Last year, I noticed powdery mildew on the leaves of some of them. How do I treat those so it doesn't spread? TIA.
Great video w/lots of good information. Looks like I'll have to wait until Fall to plant. I was also playing 'find the cat' while listening - only saw her twice. 😄😄
thank you so so much, i love peonies as well and am collecting one of each. i dont care that they say to plant drifts, i want one of each, i love them all!
I have a couple garden beds that I mulch almost every year. Should I dig up any peonies I have planted there and replant them higher, so they don’t get buried too deep?
I have peonies planted all along my driveway as well. I have had them for over 20 years and have moved them to several different houses. They were all free to begin with. I really love them, but a lot of times our weather changes just as they are blooming and the heat fries them. So sad. A problem I have is rhizome grass and field bindweed getting into mine, it’s impossible to weed out the roots, they become intertwined with the peony roots. I have dug them up several times and tried to get out every single weed root, but they always come back.
thank you for the video! Could you talk a little more specific about dividing time? such as how many days before first frost date in the fall? thank you again!
I divided my Peonies the year before last and last year I didn't have any flowers, maybe I planted them too deep. Can I dig them up now in Spring and plant them again taking into account your advise or should I just wait to see if they flower.
I have some that are growing so thick and well, I also have two that are thin, short/twig like and not producing any flowers. Did I plant these to deep? Thank you for your info. I am obsessed!
Great video, I would like to know if you have any idea on how long you can store a cutting before planting. I am planning to take my cutting/ bulb over seas and would like to store it. It is currently the beginning of April and I wouldn’t be planting it until October. It does have an eye. I would’ve bought later in the season but I haven’t seen it available beyond spring. Any recommendations would be appreciated and helpful, Thank you. Your grandmother’s peonies is beautiful, such a blessing.
so so informative....do you have any suggestions for peony types to plant to have that alternating blooming? or do you mean plant them at different times?
I'm a new gardener and I will try to plant Peonies first time this coming Fall fallowing this video!Please, would you tell where did you get those beautiful arbors?
What a comprehensive video on peonies! One of my favorite flowers and I'm patiently waiting for dozens of mine to hit the 3 year mark. After my grandma passed, the grandchildren raided her massive gardens to keep a part of her legacy going and I claimed several of her peonies. Fingers crossed they continue to thrive and hopefully have a hint of color this year.
Very informative! If I cut a peony’s flower stem, will it regrow in the same year? I read dahlias are great for “cut and grow again” and am wondering if peonies can serve the same purpose.
My blooms are long gone but the 3 to 4 pods are still expanding at the end of the stems were the flowers were. I assume these are seed pods? How do I grow plants from those?
When and how do you fertilize established peonies? I amended the soil with good compost in the fall and don't want to overfertilize. Love your channel!
Thanks, Danielle! Mine is in its first year and I only have foilage but it looks like about 8-10". How do I ensure it's getting enough good ingredients to bloom next year? Sun and water only? It is in a large pot. I'm in Zone 9b and used ice in the soil in December and January as I read this helps for Lilacs and Peonies in warmer zones. My lilacs bloomed and now waiting on my Peonies.
I live your channel Danielle. You are so knowledgeable and such a pleasant voice. Can you tell me the brand of your watering can? I would like to get one. Ps. You've got me addicted to amaryllis!
I have been wanting to transplant mine. Thank you for your video. Question for you. My peonies have a white mild dew on them. I cut most that had the powdery mild dew early summer but the dew has come back and is now moving to others. Can I cut them down now (it late July in NY now) and then there after transpant them to another area?
"You'll be surrounded by peony blooms in your garden in no time at all... 1-3 years." :'-D My girl is angelically patient
You made me 😂
I am so excited I purchased some from the grocery store for myself and I just planted roots today six in total I am so excited!
Peonies, roses, and hydrangeas complete our garden.
I'd love to hear what else you plant with roses, hydrangea, peony.
I can attest to the longevity...my grandmother raised me and I bought my home place 30 years ago, I have lived here for 48 years of my life and her 2 huge peony plants have been here longer than I have, so...

I inherited my mom's place, along with the peonies she planted in the mid '80's, still blooming today. Well actually in a couple weeks.
What a wonderful gift to have roots from your grandmothers peonies in your garden. 🙌🏻
I live zone 9A and I just bought some peony's. Hope mine start to grow.

Hello, Danielle! I was really worried because all my first year peonies just produced leaves right now … but you renewed my hope lol
Thank you for taking your time and teaching us about everything Danielle. Very good information!
I just got two new peonies last fall so this was great information. Thank you so much! 🍃🌸🍃

Thanks Danielle, good information as always. Peonies are so beautiful and glad you gave us useful tips on planting and growing them.
Love this video and your others. Peonies are truly one of the most beautiful and best smelling flowers in the world
Ty for this vid. New sub. I really appreciate the info. Love peonies. ❤❤❤
Peonies are beautiful but very expensive here.
I'd love to have a show of them somewhere in my front garden.
BTW, your soil is looking soooo rich and loamy.
Excellent for planting and direct propagating.
Great advice on how to plant and divide peonies.
😊 thanks, Jo.
You must have been building it up for years with compost and mulch.
Hi Danielle, Thanks for pointing me towards this video. I've always loved peonies and have a couple of varieties and adding more each year.
Thanks a lot for sharing, very helpful information, especially for beginner gardeners.
Thank you Danielle. I planted a bareroot peony once in my garden with no success. This gave me an in-depth understanding to plant for success in case I will try one more time.🥰
Perfect timing for this reminder. I have some peonies that need to be moved. Thanks!

you are awesome!!!thank you for sharing your knowledge of these beautiful flowers! God bless you💐
Thanks for the peony information, especially on how to divide them.
I just love your videos! Really feel lucky to have your knowledge.
I loved your video. It was so helpful and full of useful information exactly what I was looking for. Thank you for all of the information. Great job.
Very well done! Tons of information, right to the point, great job!
Great video w/lots of good information. Looks like I'll have to wait until Fall to plant. I was also playing 'find the cat' while listening - only saw her twice. 😄😄
Flower Garden beautiful.. 🌷🌺😘🥰🌹💐😁👍
Thanks for a concise but informative lesson. I'd like to add a peony to my garden.❤
thank you so so much, i love peonies as well and am collecting one of each. i dont care that they say to plant drifts, i want one of each, i love them all!
Thank you Danielle! I love peony’s.🌷💚🙃
Wow that was huge peony!! ❤ you have come so far with your gardens so impressive❤❤

Thank you wow that was amazing. I will try that. I got the idea from Suzanne Somers miss you. Rest in peace in
Your videos are so thorough and helpful!
I divided my Peonies the year before last and last year I didn't have any flowers, maybe I planted them too deep. Can I dig them up now in Spring and plant them again taking into account your advise or should I just wait to see if they flower.
Yes you can lift them up and put a little soil under them.
Thanks Danielle! Very informative!
I just truly love your videos!!!
This was very informative. Thank you.

Helo saya suka deng bunga" nya sangat cantik....

beautiful, ty. will they well in containers?
What recommendations do you have for zone 9, i love peonies and want to add these beauties to my garden
The best thing for my plants has been to leave them alone and let them grow. It’s worked for 30 years.
Very informative! If I cut a peony’s flower stem, will it regrow in the same year? I read dahlias are great for “cut and grow again” and am wondering if peonies can serve the same purpose.
Love them. Also would be interested in your gardening gloves. What brand they are. Thank you
My blooms are long gone but the 3 to 4 pods are still expanding at the end of the stems were the flowers were. I assume these are seed pods? How do I grow plants from those?
Thank you. Very informative.
When and how do you fertilize established peonies? I amended the soil with good compost in the fall and don't want to overfertilize. Love your channel!
Hi friend! Personally, I do not fertilize them. However, I welcome other methods and opinions.
When you divide and replant, does that 2-3 year clock start over again before it will flower?
Early, mid and late season Peony... What type/names for the mid and late? I've always had early bloomers.
I love your accent.❤
Every time a flower dies there are three seeds on top. Can you use those to replant more of the flowers?
Thanks, Danielle! Mine is in its first year and I only have foilage but it looks like about 8-10". How do I ensure it's getting enough good ingredients to bloom next year? Sun and water only? It is in a large pot. I'm in Zone 9b and used ice in the soil in December and January as I read this helps for Lilacs and Peonies in warmer zones. My lilacs bloomed and now waiting on my Peonies.
Do you deal with Deers in your zone? if so < how you control them from eating your garden?
I tried plating peonies in 2 years but no luck maybe I planted in too deep. Can I dig the bulbs and sew if it’s still alive
I live your channel Danielle. You are so knowledgeable and such a pleasant voice. Can you tell me the brand of your watering can? I would like to get one. Ps. You've got me addicted to amaryllis!
Hi.. I got a packet of 7 plants from Costco. Can I plant now in May or I need to wait till fall or cold weather? By the way I live in Cleveland, Ohio.
Good day do you know where I can buy Peony tubers from I'm from South Africa thank you
How do you know which peonies will bloom in three different stages?
I love your hair cut!
Will it hurt my peonies if I dig it up to make sure they are not planted to deep?
I live in South and we have red clay soil here. What soil would you recommend to mix it with red clay.
......and, good-looking!
I have been wanting to transplant mine. Thank you for your video. Question for you. My peonies have a white mild dew on them. I cut most that had the powdery mild dew early summer but the dew has come back and is now moving to others. Can I cut them down now (it late July in NY now) and then there after transpant them to another area?
How far do I cut it after the first frost? Sorry if you mentioned and I justices it.
I just bought 3 new bare roots.. how long till I can expect them to actually bloom?
