I have a gorgeous 3ft mature pink peony in my allotment that has flowered for the 3yrs I've been there. Its a magnificent display of 30/40 blooms kept together in a tall basket affair. I would like to move it to my home garden this autumn/winter will it survive the move or can i split the root. Any tips/advice would be appreciated.
I have just be mulching my beds ready for the winter. I had a beautiful deep red bush type (rather than a tree) peony hiding partially under a shrub. I have decided to shift it - the tubers fell into 3 pieces which I have replanted in different places. People say peonies don't liked to be moved, but I have accidentally moved peony tubers twice and they have sprouted and flowered within the next year.I love the smell of peonies and adore the deep red pink colour. In my street they appear to flower gradually over 4 weeks from the bottom to the top of the street (I live in the North East) I like the idea of an upside down metal hanging basket as support as they do tend to flop about - any further tips for a novice gardener?
Peonies are my favourite flowers, for the scent and majesty, although at said their flowers do not last that long. But hey, they still are gorgeous. What I would like to know is how to grow them from seed as I have kept them from last year.
I moved to my new home 2year ago! & found a peony in a tub which didn't look like was doing much & was pot bound! I took it of the pot n planted it a border getting sun from 8.30 am to 3.30pm but the problem is its not flowered yet but has grown & has established its self well! why does it not flower?
