Peony Growing Guide!!! How to Plant, Grow, Harvest, Divide, & Transplant Peonies

- Опубліковано 16 сер 2024
- Peonies will grow and flower abundantly for decades when planted correctly. The bare roots should be planted in the fall or early spring. They should be sited in full sun, planted into rich, well-draining soil, and the eyes should only be 1 ½-2 inches under the soil surface. If a peony is planted too deeply or sited in deep shade, it will produce foliage but no flowers. They perform best in zones 3-8, with a soil PH of 6.5-7, and need to experience at least 60 days of cold winter temperatures to flower abundantly.
Most cultivars grow to a height and width of approximately 3x3 feet so give them lots of room in the garden, or plan to move nearby plants as the years go on. If you’re growing peonies in rows for cut flower production, the roots should be spaced 24 inches apart, with rows that are 18 inches apart. Good air circulation around the plants is vital to preventing bacterial and fungal diseases.
Peony roots are sold by the number of eyes or grade number. The more eyes a root has or the higher the grade number, the sooner you will get flowers from that root. Here I have a grade 1 peony and I can see the presence of 5 eyes.
To start, loosen the soil where the peony root will be planted and add some compost to the area. Dig out an area one and half times the width of my root. Position the peony root so that the eyes are 1 ½ -2 inches below the soil surface. This is the most important part. Next, backfill with soil, firm it in lightly, and give it a deep watering. Mulch around the perimeter of the peony to help suppress weeds and retain moisture. Just take care not to pile lots of mulch on top of the root because this can cause it to become planted too deeply also.
Peonies take a few years to become established. Don’t worry if the first year you only see foliage, and the second year you only have one or two flowers. As the years pass the root system and plant will get bigger and the peony will begin to flower with abundance. The first thing you’ll see in spring is the red sprouts emerging from the earth. Then the leaves will begin to unfurl, and by late May into June they will begin to flower. Large established peonies benefit from a support system so their heavy heads don’t fall to the ground. You can use special peony supports or simply surround them with stakes and twine.
Another option is to cut your peony flowers. Since the best time to cut them is in marshmallow bud stage, which is when the bud squishes easily between your fingers, you’ll be harvesting the flowers before they have a chance to get top heavy and fall over. You can even store peonies dry for weeks by picking them in marshmallow bud stage, wrapping them in brown paper, and laying them in your refrigerator. When you want to use the peonies, remove them from storage but keep them wrapped, recut the stem ends and rehydrate them in a bucket of water. In a few hours they’ll look like they were freshly cut from the garden.
After your peonies are done blooming allow the foliage to remain in the garden until the first frost kills the leaves. At that time remove all the dead foliage to prevent disease.
After many years have passed, you may want to divide your peony. This is best done in the fall. Start by cutting off all the foliage at ground level, then dig and lift the entire root from the ground. Next, spray it down with water to remove most of the soil so you can clearly see the eyes. Look for a place where it may be possible to pull the clump apart or use a sharp knife to divide it into sections. Each division should have at least 3 to 5 eyes and a healthy mass of roots. Divisions with less than 3 eyes will grow, but it may be several years before the plant produces flowers. Repeat the planting steps we talked about earlier and you’ll be surrounded by peony blooms in no time!
"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!
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❤🌸❤
What if you don’t bury the eyes?
@@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.
Peonies, roses, and hydrangeas complete our garden.
I'd love to hear what else you plant with roses, hydrangea, peony.
@@annacastellano4512Y'all have such good taste! I'm a little biassed because I have the same flowers growing in my garden. I have some sage, and wild chives keeping the flowers company, and they all seem to get along. I'll be adding some marigolds tomorrow. I'm sure they'll thrive, as long as the rabbits decide to come pay a visit. I'm no expert but lavender should make a good companion as well, and will be my next addition to our garden. May God bless y'all, abundantly. Cheers!
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.
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. 🙌🏻
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!
Oh, I'll bet they will look gorgeous around there!
I live zone 9A and I just bought some peony's. Hope mine start to grow.
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
❤ same with my grandma garden i pick her a beautiful vase for her birthdayin june great job explaining planting 👍🏻
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!
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!!
How did it go? Is it making buds?
@@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.
M : Představuji si tu krásu a přeji Vašim pivoňkám zdraví a dlouhá léta. 🏵️💮😍
Hello, Danielle! I was really worried because all my first year peonies just produced leaves right now … but you renewed my hope lol
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!
I just got two new peonies last fall so this was great information. Thank you so much! 🍃🌸🍃
Thank you for taking your time and teaching us about everything Danielle. Very good information!
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, 😍
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.
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!
The best thing for my plants has been to leave them alone and let them grow. It’s worked for 30 years.
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!
I am learning so much from you to make my garden beautiful.
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.
I bought some bare root peonies last month. Your advice is so timely!
So helpful. Thank you for demystifying the process. I love peonies.
Love this video and your others. Peonies are truly one of the most beautiful and best smelling flowers in the world
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.
Thanks Danielle, good information as always. Peonies are so beautiful and glad you gave us useful tips on planting and growing them.
Love peonies. Learned as always from you, Danielle. Happy growing ❤
Perfect timing for this reminder. I have some peonies that need to be moved. Thanks!
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.🥰
Thanks a lot for sharing, very helpful information, especially for beginner gardeners.
Flower Garden beautiful.. 🌷🌺😘🥰🌹💐😁👍
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.
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.
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!
Ty for this vid. New sub. I really appreciate the info. Love peonies. ❤❤❤
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.
Thanks for a concise but informative lesson. I'd like to add a peony to my garden.❤
Thanks for the peony information, especially on how to divide them.
Thank you for this informative video Danielle! Your peonies are lovely. I hope to take care of my mothers’ bushes so thank you very much.
you are awesome!!!thank you for sharing your knowledge of these beautiful flowers! God bless you💐
Your videos are so thorough and helpful!
Thank you wow that was amazing. I will try that. I got the idea from Suzanne Somers miss you. Rest in peace in
Wow that was huge peony!! ❤ you have come so far with your gardens so impressive❤❤
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.
Thank you, very informative! 🍾❤️
Very well done! Tons of information, right to the point, great job!
Thank you Danielle! I love peony’s.🌷💚🙃
지역은 다르지만 정원가꾸는 방법은 같다고 봐야죠😊
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!
Our 6-year old peony plant reaches about three feet tall and over 90 flower heads. It's insane!
Wonderful 😊
Thank you for sharing this valuable information
Great video! I am really enjoying your channel - so glad I found you! 💗
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.
This is a great video! Thanks!
Helo saya suka deng bunga" nya sangat cantik....
I just truly love your videos!!!
This was very informative. Thank you.
Thanks for the information very helpful ❤
I have 6 peonies my favourite flower,
So helpful 🌞
Thanks Danielle! Very informative!
Thank you for sharing. Great tips 👍🏽
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?
Absolutely love your videos!
Thank you. Very informative.
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.
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!
I love your hair cut!
I love your accent.❤
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.
......and, good-looking!
Peonies, roses
What recommendations do you have for zone 9, i love peonies and want to add these beauties to my garden
Beautiful :D
Thank You
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?
Peony are just a bloom
How do you handle ants.
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?
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!
Early, mid and late season Peony... What type/names for the mid and late? I've always had early bloomers.
How do you know which peonies will bloom in three different stages?
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.
When you divide and replant, does that 2-3 year clock start over again before it will flower?
beautiful, ty. will they well in containers?
I’ve had a peony plant that’s over a decade old- it’s always been hardy, wildly fragrant and full of blooms. These past two growing cycles the plants have stopped emitting scent. Can anyone tell me why?
Love them. Also would be interested in your gardening gloves. What brand they are. Thank you
Do you deal with Deers in your zone? if so < how you control them from eating your garden?
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.
What home food scraps can be used for compost?
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
