Hey folks, I wish you all are well! Just wanted to make a garden tour for my backyard where I have a lot of peonies, especially tree peonies which are on full swing right now, but I has been busy so it’s taken a little bit time for editing. So with this video, I would liketo take you guys going around in my backyard to see what are blooming at the moment. I still have a lot of plants are covering with a lot of buds.

Gorgeous peony collection!

As always, Absolutely beautiful. You have inspired me to add Peonies to my garden. They are truly beautiful ❤️❤️

[@smallbackyardfun]

Thank you! I always have a spot in my heart for peonies. They are not just like roses which have a long season of beautiful blooming. Peonies just bloom once but totally they are on their glory for their moment. So I take that to exchange a whole year for one time shining. On the other hand peonies always bloom very early in the season. When roses and the other flowers are still developing their buds. Please add peonies in your garden, you won’t regret for that!

Thank you! I am have a passion with peonies generally beside roses. I always wish if I ever had a bigger land I would use a big part of this land just only for my peony collection.

Wow! A garden full of wonderful Peonies, they almost looked like roses. Thanks for sharing, I’ve got about 4 pieces in the garden and only two have flowers. I must have planted them too deep. 🌹🐝

[@smallbackyardfun]

Thank you! Peonies are one of my gardening passion. I am always spellbound by all kind of peonies. And moreover, peonies always have very early blooms in our climate zone. Regarding your peonies, please try to plant them in sunny locations (at least 5-6 hours of direct sunlight) with well-drained soil. With herbaceous and itoh peonies the top of their crowns have to be not deeper than 2 inches. For tree peonies you have to do oppositely, to plant deep to encourage they develop their own roots. Hope that helps!

Hi Eric, we have a peony. Potted. For last few years it gives us the most lovely flower. That’s one flower :) yours are lovely there my friend

[@smallbackyardfun]

Hi JJ, thanks my friend, we have colder climate than yours, so in order to have some nice blooms of this time of the year then nothing can beat peonies, peonies is one of the best flowers in Spring, and unfortunately they just bloom once per year. After peony season we will keep going with roses for our blooming parade. I just have a look up your garden now, gorgeous blooming season my friend!

[@Jay_Jay]

@@smallbackyardfun no I meant our peonie gives us just one flower! One stem and one flower, I will try and show you next video. ;) cheers mate

[@smallbackyardfun]

@@Jay_Jay no worries :), I got what you mean, BTW if you try to plant your peony in ground with sunny spot, I guarantee it will give you bunches of flowers

Beautiful. How old are your tree peonies?

[@smallbackyardfun]

@@luvzilla thanks! Most of them are 3-5 year old!

[@ARiley-vi3fx]

@smallbackyardfun you have a beautiful garden. May I ask, what fertilizer do you use on the peonies?

[@smallbackyardfun]

Hi, thanks for your compliment! Peonies are kind of easy growing plants, as long as you provide them with sunny locations, well-drained soil, so they should be fine. For fertilizing I just do once or twice per year, first time in early spring with bulb fertilizer or anything with NPK following this formula, 4-8-8, 5-10-10…at the second one is in late fall when they are going for their dormancy, this time I will go with bone meal. Even some year I skipped spring fertilizing and just did one time per year in fall, and they were good as well.
