Tree Peony // Garden Answer

[@marissa4224]

Hi Laura. Can you please give an update on your peony tree. I just love those plants. Thanks 😊🏵

[@AndYourLittleDog]

I inherited my grandma’s tree peony.. it’s 46ish years old and I treasure it. The blooms are 9-10”. So much reward for minimal effort.

[@julieathome7793]

Hi Melinda, how often do your tree peonies bloom?

[@MelindasLifeandstyle]

@@julieathome7793 my tree peony just bloomed yesterday and they will last about two weeks. Last year I had an unusual experience where one of my tree peonies had one bloom a month through February and I am in zone 7

[@julieathome7793]

@@MelindasLifeandstyle wow! My mom just got one and it had its one bloom today. They don’t rebloom, right? Just once, then that’s it for the year?

[@MelindasLifeandstyle]

@@julieathome7793 it is just once but like I was saying earlier...one that I have was giving off a bloom a month through winter. It was strange. I just posted my tree on Instagram if you want to see it

[@mamasaidsew4843]

A couple of seasons to bloom my eye. I bought three from the nursery with blooms 4 years ago. No blooms since then until this year. They come up fine every year but no blooms til this spring. I'm glad I didn't give up on them. Just know a few years may turn into 4 to 5 but once they bloom it's so worth it.

[@annieo2766]

Thank you for this information. I have a tree peony that is healthy and very large, but 3 years in and no blooms! Maybe this will be the lucky year.

[@KP-bq7yc]

I just discovered your channel and I am impressed! I work at a garden centre, too. And I have gained an immense amount of knowledge since working there. Though, we don't care everything so I like to learn more about the things we're not as familiar with. This video explains everything very well and you are a great speaker!

[@standincub]

Can we get an update on how your tree peony is doing?

[@lisawalters5482]

I love peonies! I had no idea they would grow in zone 8. Now I am on the hunt!!!💕👏🏼🙀💐

[@dwyllis1]

I would love to have this in my garden, but I don't think they are sold here in New Zealand .... I will have to check that out on the internet. We do have the normal peonies, & I planted one in 2011, & was so happy to see that it had its very first bud, & telling myself to be careful as I weeded around it. Well, we have a persistent weed that has a leaf shape very similar to the peony, & as I was still thinking happy thoughts about my very first peony being in bud, I pulled it out ....... yes, I did!!! And not only did I pull it out, but it snapped off at the base as I did so ...... I actually sat holding it, & crying. Since then, I haven't planted another one, but I think I will do so. You have inspired me ..... & hopefully I won't pull this one out.

[@EunicengnChege]

Beautiful blooming. Makes me imagine a room as the vase and the yard as the bunch of flowers.

[@SansaStarkofWinterfell]

That's a beautiful tree peony Laura and the perfect spot to plant it too! Great job!

[@jamiemitchell8088]

I am so excited, I have ordered me a felco 2 prunner today. happy dance..... thanks Laura. some day we would love to visit your parents garden center. we were in Ontario last August.

[@susanfirth2279]

I love Peony Trees and have a gorgeous yellow one in my garden. It was actually the colour I bought it for as I have quite a few different peony bushes in various shades of pink and had wanted a yellow one. The only one I could find was the peony tree. Flowers are huge and the first to bloom in spring.

[@sirinyasmith6253]

hope to see an update in your next garden tour... i dont recall seeing it!

[@cute_but_dumb5073]

This is so great. I would love to see more in depth videos like this on individual plants! For example, coleus! I'm so confused about when and where to "pinch back." There's some videos out there on the subject, but they aren't super clear and I typically can't see what the person is doing with their hands. I've read some articles too, but they don't have detailed pictures.

[@Jack-oc2xq]

Cute_but_dumb its been a while since you commented this but incase you didnt find out, pinching back is when you cut back a stem of a plant to a leaf node, where the leaf grows out from the stem, the point of this is to make plants busier, because the stem continues to grow from the little bud in between the leaf and the stem

[@johnlaurencunanan3523]

wow so beautiful peony. so that is real

[@MK-wm6gu]

Lots of helpful information. Thanks!

[@wcolin441]

[@stephaniec4855]

Yes, what is the name of this particular plant?

[@debbiemann1265]

very pretty. I'd love to see those dinner plate size blooms, i bet its gorgeous.

[@Dnguy210]

It looks gorgeous

[@maryjanew20]

I'm curious about the ants as well. I recently read that if you want to bring the blooms indoors for display you should cut the stems when the buds are beginning to show color and are soft as marshmallows. You can then shake off any ants, place the stems in water and you should have blooms in a day or two. I haven't tried it yet and would appreciate your opinion.

[@allenlebo]

Tree peonies don’t have ants. Regular peonies are easy to clean of ants. Dip each one, flower head down, in a pail of slightly soapy water and shake of water. Check under the leaves at the base of the flower in case any ants are hiding there.

[@TheStrawberryAnia]

I'm starting my adventure with peonies this year. I'm so excited :)

[@lucyloyo8799]

Hi Laura! I love this 🌸 I live in South Florida, i believe is zone 10 here. I don’t see them around here but would love to try it out because i think they are just gorgeous! I hope i can see them bloom here! We’ll see!

So pretty! I have three beautiful white peony bushes in my backyard but I have never seen a peony tree. Would love to own one. I live in a zone 6 with tons of deer around and this sounds like it would do great here in my state -- WV. My next trip to our local garden centers, I'll be on the lookout :)

[@auntym632]

Thank you Laura for giving such vital info about peonies. I have a tree peoni l got as a birthday gift 15 years ago, and believe me that is the best gift l have received ever. I can hardly wait for Spring to come each year so that l can see that humongous beautiful fuchsia colour. But the only sad thing about it is the flowers last only two weeks. Is this normal?

[@michaelhaddan1965]

Thank you! Gonna try one!

[@lizbest86]

Just one piece of advice, at about 4:15 in you talk about shoots coming from the ground and to remove them. Tree peonies are not truly trees, they’re a perennial shrub, and can have tree peony shoots come from the ground as well. Especially in colder zones the main stem can die back completely and they’ll need to rely on new growth from the ground....suggest that anyone with a tree peony allow those ground shoots to open enough to tell if the foliage is from the tree Peony or the herbaceous nurse root before removing anything.

[@willaerley7140]

Are tree peonies less likely to flop compared to the shrub versions?

[@lizbest86]

@@willaerley7140 tree peonies aren’t truly trees, they’re woody shrubs. The stems are woody and stiff so they don’t flop to the ground at all. Some types of tree peonies have flowers that droop down on those stiff stems, though-they are really heavy. The worst are Chinese Suffruticosas, Japanese droop less. Rockii are gorgeous, blooms typically have a darker “throat” and they don’t droop at all. Lutes hybrids are pretty and colorful and have been known to have a small flush of flowers in the fall under some circumstances-definitely not regularly, unfortunately. Newer hybridizers try to avoid droopy flowers with the newer varieties. Good places to look if you’re interested is Adelman’s Peony Paradise there in Oregon, think outside Salem...website is www.peonyparadise.com. Another wonderful grower/hybridizer is Nate Bremer of Solaris Farms, website is www.solarisfarms.com.

I want one sooooooo bad really. I live in San Angelo tx and we used to have 6 nurseries not including Wal-Mart, Lowe's hardware, home depot, or true value store. Which most of thoes don't really have a selection of plants...Well maybe Lowe's has a bit of selection. Anyways we are down to 3 nurseries which is a huge bumer😢 1 is a small very small nursery the other focuses on succulents which i like also and the last one is more into saleing trees, shrubs, bougainvillea, and roses, they do have 2 tables of the 4in pots of annuals which is petunia, gazanias, and foxtail ferns but none of them carry peony. The first second I saw this one I said I will have one they are beautiful and peony are my favorite shrub plant aaaaand tree.👍😊🖒
