Thank you for watching 7 Peony Care Tips
I learned from a little old lady years ago that if you wanted to transplant peonies, you need to do it on a rainy overcast dark day or in the evening at dusk. I've done that for over a decade, I've divided my peonies & rescued peonies from neglected areas. This bit of "ancient wisdom" has worked every time. She mentioned that Ants were very beneficial & she believed that they helped to pollinate the buds 🤔
Sounds like some super peony advice . Thank you Prayon for sharing that one with our flower tribe . 🌸🌸
The ants are not necessary for the blooms to open. They love the sticky coating but it’s an old wives tail that ants are required.
@@theglamgram you are correct..ants aren't vital to peonies blooming
My daughters husband mowed over her Peony, it was just getting started
“A happy marriage is the union of two good forgivers “
I have had the same peony bush for 45 years from my mothers backyard. its healthy and beautiful.
THAT IS SO WONDERFUL !!
My very favourite flower! I've split peonies and moved them around from place to place and not had any problems. I do have one that gets sun only in the afternoon but it blooms and is doing well. I follow what my mom told me about peonies and how and when to plant them which is pretty much what is being said here. Good luck peony lovers! From Ontario, Canada!
I find support cages are not nearly high enough. This year I am using 4 foot cedar stakes with jute string between the stakes. As they grow, I go back and run a new higher string between the stakes, leaving the lower one to keep the plants from bulging out. Its working. We started with a couple of bags of rhizomes, and 8 years later we have split them many times - we now have about 150 plants. Best part is when the neighbours look forward to seeing the blooms. Their excitement and smiles are worth it.
That's amazing on the growth!
I’m in UK 🇬🇧 and remember in 60s loads of ants 🐜 on peony buds . Still my favourite flower along with David Austin Roses .
Your dog is as beautiful as the peonies. Thanks for sharing your time.
I love peonies and grow them as my grandmother also did--from Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦 🍁!!! ❤️🐝🌻🦋
Great tips!
We planted peonies for about 20 years. Peonies are very sensitive during transplant and may get transplanting shocks. It may not flower the following year and even as long as three years. Try to minimize the movement and motion. Be patient and don't give up! They will be fine!
My favorite flowers.. thanks for the tips ❤
Happy to help . Thank you for watching . 🌸🤗
I fertilize every spring which helps make mine look lush. I have some planted that get a couple hours of afternoon shade and the blooms seem to last longer. I divide my peonies, irises and canna lilies every year in the fall and give some to neighbors and friends. I have taught them how to divide and we also do plant swapping 😊
The Peony is my state flower, Every Spring I look forward to my Sarah Bernhardt blooming. They are so beautiful, they don't look real. I have dozens of buds that will bloom by Memorial Day.
I have never in my 68 years seen such absolutely gorgeous peonies in my life! Thanks for the information. I am guilty of never really caring for my peonies, yet they always bloom beautifully. I wonder what would happen if I actually fertilized them! 😉😊🌺
They thrive in benign neglect
Two things I do. One is nematodes. I always do them once a year. The other is I use a product called Vitazyme. It is a probiotic that you buy in concentrated form. You can use this stuff on any plant or tree. A lot of the apple orchards around here use it as a drench in the spring. It will blow you away. Of course, that shovelful of composted animal manure helps too. Do you hold your buds? We are just finishing the season here and now I will start pulling buds out of the cooler to complete their bloom. You can hold them up to two months. oh, and I have some peonies they call Pioneer Peonies. They have a flash of red at the center. I got mine from a man in his 90s who got them from his grannie. Love them.
Seeing Lucy always makes me smile. She seems so sweet
Another tip, if you pinch off the lateral buds you will have one, strong, perfect bloom and the stems will be less heavy.
I’ve put used coffee grounds on the soil to stop the ants climbing up the stems as ants don’t like coffee grounds.
Thanks I’ll try this, ants are such a problem.
Hi. From eastern side of Washington. I live peonies. Mine I planted a few years ago never got flowers. But to my surprise this spring its loaded with flower buds 😅 so happy. Thanks for the info
Hi from Spokane. Peonies are my favorite as well.
Thank you what a great video. I love your dog I have 2 Bernese Mountain dogs.
You are very welcome . Love the Berners 🐶🤗
I have had three peonies that I planted from small plants about five or six years ago. I also have two that were given to me from an old plant. It took several years for my original plants to bloom, and then about the fourth year, they bloomed beautifully. Last year, I had one bloom. I didn't do anything differently. Why might this happen? Also, is there anything I can do this fall to help them bloom next spring? When do you fertilize and with what type of fertilizer. I so want beautiful peonies.
My peonies get morning sun only..and they bloom profusely....I have pink..white..red ...and they're beautiful..I've cut the older plants in half and given them to friends and my Mother -in- law...and they heavily bloom in spring..my elderly neighbor dug his out and gave them to me..I planted them where I could find room..they are beautiful
I came across this video while scrolling UA-cam. I have two lovely dark pink peony bushes, and I alway like learning how to keep my plants healthy. You are right about the low maintenance, the soil they are in is so old, yet they bloom every year. I did now know you could bring the flowers inside as I was worried about ants in my house. Thanks for the tip on how to remove them! Oh, and I’m in northwestern Ontario Canada, I believe zone 3.
Mine are around 75 yrs old. I'm glad I found your channel...
Never move peonies in the spring! Late august-September is your best best. I moved several peonies, they did great
Actually its best to cut Peonies short, dig up, seperate, & replant in mid-late Fall! They're dormment and waiting for the long cold nap, its necessary for rejuvenation.
Watching from the Pacific Northwest - Oregon. Would love to start my own plants. 🪴 Thanks for sharing!
Lovely. Beautiful peony garden. I am just now getting my bloom payoff after waiting patiently…well perhaps impatiently! 😂❤
I just found your channel a few days ago and it’s embarrassing to say how much content of yours I’ve watched as I research through to see if piggies are the right fit for me. I have to admit, I had fallen for Pedro, I loved his hair and temperament. When I stumbled upon Pedro’s passing yesterday through a video, I knew I had to watch his tribute. Thank you for reminding us that we feel. Losing a pet can be very hard. Thank you for your work in sharing, it’s always uplifting, even during the hard times. God bless you!
In the North, in Pennsylvania we call Peonies, P n eze. Peonies in the South, they call them pea own nese like the Mexican surfs, peones. I don’t even try to pretend that I know anything about peonies maintenance. I love P n ese, I have quite a few bushes in my garden, I love them.. great tips though thanks. 🥰❤️🎶
I love peonies , I wish I can grow here this year
I've been obsessed with Google Lens this year. I go around the property looking up every plant I don't immediately recognize.
There's a gorgeous deep pink peony growing in a dirt mound that got left 15 years ago.
Don't know where it came from, but I'm so glad I left it!!
However, I was planning on digging it up and potting it so I can make sure it will live through winter but now I'm not sure I should do that. 😢
I just inherited two lovely peonies from my mom and will definitely be keeping these tips in mind! My mom says to water them to death and has them in pastic 50 gallon buckets in native soil (pretty dry and dusty stuff lol) and they send off beautiful blooms every season 😅 not sure how we're related with those green thumbs of hers lol
Hi from Norway! Thanks for your peony tips!

Awesome! Thx- short and sweet, concise and clear!
You're very welcome ! I'm glad the Peony Care Tip video was helpful 🌸🌸🌸
You can also use a forked branch to support a floppy heavy flower stem.
Cool! There is detachable cage support
Thank you for posting this great tip ! Yes they are so easy to work with too . 👏👏👏🌸🌸
Thank you from Sweden.
One year, I was probably 9, I was 'trying to help" my mom's peony and I sprayed the ant/buds with insect spray! Mom was so terribly nice about telling me: "The ants help the blooms open." I knew I did a devastating thing! We waited all year for those blooms and I jinxed it ! That broke my heart! I am 67 and I still remember that big mistake! Ask first kids!
Same memories. With my mom
I did it this year twice and it bloomed fine
They don’t help the blooms open
They are lovely plants. Thanks for the informative tips as always 🙂🌺🌺
Hi Dave , glad you liked the peonies . You are very welcome 🌸😊
Very beautiful and amazing peonys l lovet it's an attractive garden .🌺
Thank you for your kind comment Linda 😊🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸
We inherited about 10 peonies plants and unfortunately we live in a super humid and rainy environment. I'm finding out I need to start spraying fungicide on them right as they start growing to avoid blotch (this year) or powdery mildew (last year). They are worth the hassle though, we just got a new one blooming a deep red color just this week
Just re-watched this video getting ready for my beautiful Peony to bloom soon ! Mom and I plan on going to the garden center to get a couple more varieties this year. Thanks, Kelly! 🌸
Lovely flowers.
Thank you flower friend 😊🌸
Peonies are my favorite I wish they lasted longer in the year
You can pick them when the buds feel like stale marshmallows. Wrap individually in damp, not wet, paper towels and refrigerate for up to sux weeks. Make new cut on stem before putting into vase.
Thank you for the tips! They will help me going forward! From VA
Happy to help Melissa ! Thank you for checking in from VA 🌸🤗🌎👏🌻
Peonies in Belgium, I really have to watch out that the soil drains! I will try the support cage tip next summer to stop the floppy flowers from getting muddy
We are zone 7..(now considered zone 8...) and we are high desert in the mountains above Cal Poly University, .....We are back to our zone 7 weather now that the rains are back....no more draught that we had for years. We can get over 100 ...even to 108 or 109 here, but dry heat, clay soil...and even minus 17 Degrees in the winter and snow once every 30 years or so....yes I wrote once in 30 years....Should I plant a peony in a pot or in the ground? Thank you. Your flowers are wonderful😊 😊😊😊
.
I would plant your peonies in a pot especially so you can move them into shade or I sorta on the days when temps are 100 or higher
Yours are beautiful. I just planted some bre roots about 1 month ago and can't wait to enjoy them each year.
Learned some good things today! Will remember! Mine is probably too deep and I added mulch! Leaving the green leave s as I await to cut them down in the fall- hoping for more buds next year!
This was awesome Kelly.. Wish me Luck in TEXAS
I’m new to peony’s and we’re local in central NJ! Thanks for the tips!
I have had success moving peonies, they are delicate and need the cage and care when moved. I have lost a few but mostly success.
Thank you because of you I now have 6 peonies and hope the grow and bloom thank you. Do you ever share your roots or sell them? thank you kindly. I love gardening to relax after working many hrs am a nurse and gardening relaxes me.
Thank you Kelly, Yaass, feeling you in Motown!!!
Stunning flowers
I’m new to your Chanel. I wanted to learn to take care of my hydrangea and how to propagate.
My fav!! Too bad I can’t grow it in my state. Store bought is all I can get 😩
Thank you. I didn't know about full sun all day
Thank you for the tips. I just bought 2 plants in New Hampshire. Can't wait for the blooms...
🇦🇺hi, I’m from Australia & needed some tips to plant my store bought peony.. thank you it was very helpful 👏👏🇦🇺
Hey Kelly listening from the Calamuchita Valley in Argentina. Thanks for the summary on peonies, very clear. We have lots of sun and it only rains and hails in the summer. Our temperature in winter rarely goes below 32F and in the summers it is between 85 and 110. Do you think they can survive and bloom. I have one in a bit pot and it has the buttons but they do not open up. Thanks again!
Hi Mariana . Love your peony question. Peonies need a chill period of 33-50°F (0.5-10°C) for 2 to 3 months to set their blooms in place . They usually love full sun I think they will scorch in your super high temps. I would try to plant one or two where it gets morning sun and some afternoon shade. The one you have now may be planted too deep . If the highest eye on the tuber ( the little red/brown nub) has more than 2 inchese of soil on it , the flowers may not open .
I was just wondering where is your favorite place to buy peonies? I would love to buy some.
I bought my peony rhythm at Kmart for a dollar. It's blooming now which is my favorite flower.
Peony is the most beautiful one❤❤❤
Hi from Minnesota, your video was very informative thank you so much!

I am from southern Massachusetts! I deleted my Facebook two years ago. Glad to have found you on UA-cam!
Hello Kelly I am from,Scotland and like the tips about,dead heading my bloom once the bloom has wilted 🥀.
Your tips are sooo great and beneficial!
I'm learning so much from your videos thanks for sharing. It's such a beautiful flower and you can't believe how much trouble I had finding out It's name.
I live in Hamilton Square. I had no idea we had this in Cranbury!
What do you fertilize with and when? I have new roots to plant asap.
Iove peonies,good video
Any tips for planting from root into container/ pot please… currently renting so def don’t want to plant in ground & leave them behind. I’m from South Africa, Cape Town. After searching for 3years I found 2 suppliers in other towns who were willing to sell me rhizomes, getting them couriered towards end of July. I’m binge watching all the videos! Thank you for this channel & all the tips!
Oh how cool , I would plant them in deep pots ( at least 17 inches deep and wide )so the roots can stretch out as they mature . Also keep in mind that Peonies need a certain amount of chill time over the winter . Here is some information on chilling them properly

Thank you for checking in all the way from CapeTown Sputh Africa ! 🌸🌎👍👏🤗🤗
So gorgeous!
Thank you flower friend !
Great, succinct presentation! Watched several other videos and this was the best! Thank you!
Love this! Thank you. Hoping to plant some in Ohio!
Hi Joshua , hope you get a few peonies in the ground this year . You will love them 🌸🌸

You're welcome Mary 👍
Hi Kelly, I’m quite new to gardening. I do have peonies in my garden in London. Loved the video and your gorgeous dog. I’ll keep watching for more tips.

Hi from Victoria British Columbia. Thanks for the great tips
I’m a new gardener also. And I have planted a few peonies 3 years ago from just bulbs. Mo
Blooms on the first 2 years maybe because I had them in planters and like you said in your video, planted too deep. So I transplanted to the ground then last year and finally got blooms!!. My question is? How can I propagate peonies? Or do you already a video for it?
Just found your channel and subscribed .
Hi Bonna, so glad you found our Flower Tribe. Welcome ! You can propagate peonies through cuttings , from planting their seeds and also from digging them up and splitting the plant so each section has a few viable eyes . I will make videos in all of these soon . Thank you for the inspiration 🌸🌸
Could I ask you a question Kelly? I'm growing a peony in a large container in a mostly shady but bright terrace, thinking I'd try my luck. The bare root was medium sized and there's a bud coming, I see some smaller buds too. Do you think this means the indirect light it receives is enough for healthy growth, or is the bud the remnants of the previous year's growth? I would be satisfied with having less blooms, but consistent every year. I could consider moving the container to a sunnier spot, but that part of the terrace is more like a very hot greenhouse in summer afternoons.
Hi Kelly, Thank´s for sharing! Sweden/Stockholm.
Thank you. I Love Hydrangeas, peonies and roses. Especially old Heirloom varieties. I transplant peonies and other plants using my block technique. I cut out as big a block of soil around and under the plant as possible and relocate it to the desired site. Plant generally has no idea it was moved. Hard on my back but it seems to work. The advice another poster they received from that old lady about doing it on an overcast day makes sense to me. Keeps the roots from being sun dried. As for the ants, they don't hurt the plant. They might also remove noxious insects. I ignore them unless, as you say, they are on plants I am bringing in.
Do you sell peonies or old roses?
Hi Kelly!!! Love flowers!! Thank you for your tips
Hey Butterfly23 Faith 👋👋 . You are very welcome 🌸🌸🌸
Hi, from Elizabeth City, North Carolina. Great tips!
Thank you!
You are very welcome 🙏
Hello from Chicago Illinois 💙 💚 💛
Hi Victoria Lee 👋👋Thank you for checking in from Chicago Illinois 🌸👋👍🌎😊
Hi, when we bought our 100+ year old home 15 years ago we inherited two very ancient peony bushes. I fell in love with them, and planted several other in different places in our yard. Each year, they come up beautifully and get tons of blooms. No fungus when they come up. The leaves always start out the season a deep, dark, beautiful green. About 3-5 years ago, one of the ancient plants got mold/fungus on the leaves. It has continued all through our yard, now each bush will be covered with white mold/fungus until their leaves are completely covered by the end of each season. I’ve tried several natural ideas but nothing has worked. I don’t want to use any chemicals. Do you have any ideas to get rid of the mold/fungus. We’ve had to completely cut our bushes down by the end of each season. Sometimes the mold starts to spread to surrounding different species of plants. I make sure that when watering, we aren’t spraying the leaves with water. Thank you for your tips. We live in zone 6 also, in upstate (western) New York state.
They also have some type of granules you bury around the perimeter & then water. Sorry forgot name but is a reputable
E BBIAB lawn compa y.
Wonderful videos!
Jersey grrl gardeners rock!
Beautiful - from England! Was looking for some phoney advice!
Thanks for the great video !!I am from Nova Scotia and have one ready to bloom…. Did you do a propagation video?
Not yet! But I have one coming up soon 🌸 thank you for checking in from Nova Scotia 🌸👏👏🌻🌎
Very nice
We planted our first Peonies plant a few weeks ago. ( I should have watched this first) a few of the stalks bent over, they didn't break just are laying down. Will they come back or should they be cut at the bend? I'll be putting a cage around it tomorrow. I'm a newbie, sorry. Lol
Peonies in pots. Tips for them, please. Roseburg, Oregon zone 8B or 9. Been told both. Since I am between hills and everything blooms a couple of weeks after Roseburg, thinking 8B.
Thanks, love my Peony
I’m watching from Oklahoma! Thank you!
That’s an old wives tale.
Once they’ve been moved it just takes time for them to re establish just like many plants
As long as they get a good feed. Not planted too deeply, and with sunlight they transplant well.
Leave c all the foliage on the plant until it’s fully yellow or brown thrn cut down.
Move when the plant is dormant not awake. Cool season transplant is essential
Thank you for the info. I’m attempting to create an Eden on my property and would love to have peonies.
So I work at a dispensary and they grow the weed plants in these blocks made mostly of coconut coir but it’s a mix of pear light and it’s in a mesh bix I’m sure that’s lose it’s shape once over watered. I bought peony tubers last year and had to start indoors im in 5b and our summer is VERY short. I know transplanting is bad and the ones I planted in buckets to get ready to grow outside all died. Not sure if they’ll come back, probably not but wondering if this same method with these coconut boxes would work because once warmer weather yoh could lob the entire box in ground without disturbing like you would by transplanting
Hi Danielle, I’ve never tried that but it may work . I would use a very small amount if the coconut husk though since I know it will eventually break down but it may take a while once buried and I don’t want the peony tuber to get soggy in it .
Make sure you don’t bury your plant too deep . Just an inch or two above the highest eye . Good luck 🌸🌸
