The Hildene Star: Our Method for Staking Peony Plants

Join Hildene's horticulturist Andrea Luchini and colleague Eric Rose for an introduction to Hildene's method for staking peonies. With over 100 peony plants in the Formal Garden and Kitchen & Cutting Gardens combined, it takes some diligence and dedication to stake every plant. It's worth it - the stakes provide the stability necessary for the heavy blooms to stay upright and off the ground, thus prolonging the beauty of the plant for a longer viewing season. Learn about the "Hildene Star" method, along with a few tips and tricks you can use at home.
