I'm looking forward to seeing your pictures, and you must share your secret for successfully growing tree peonies.

Hi, Yan.

Looking forward to more photographs.

Wow, that is a truly spectacular tree peony! Look at how the blooms cover the whole tree. Amazing! How old is your tree peony, Huang?

Gorgeous peony Yan, thanks for sharing!

Lovely!

Beautiful garden, Annette! Bet it's amazing to stroll through right now!

Huang049, your tree peony is absolutely stunning. It still amazes me that any plant can have stems strong enough to support those huge, gorgeous flowers. I hope one day to have tree peonies that look like yours. How old is that tree? Do you prune yours at all? It is perfectly shaped and lovely. And welcome to the peony forum!

Yes, Jasmin. Normally the Chinese one bloom first, and then the Japanese TP, my Blue Sapphine is 7 years old, it's really put on a show this year, had 29 blooms on it.

Hello Yan, and welcome. Those are some amazing tree peonies you have.

Thanks for sharing your photos Annette! Minnie Shaylor is probably one of my favourites amongst the whites.

Thank you! Liz
TP don't need to prune, but I always pull up the new growth or thin out some of the leaf, to keep TP ventilated.
This Blue Sapphire is my first correction, it's 7 years old.
I'm glad everyone is enjoying it!!!!

Nick.

Thanks Liz, garden strolls are wonderful at this time of year'

I agree Nick, Minnie Shaylor is one of the wonderful white peonies.

Just wonderful peonies, Annette! Love the gadenshots. My favorites are Yumi and your pink Noid.

Thanks Karen, Yumi is a great addition to any garden! It has the best shade of yellow. The pink noid also has a wonderful color, and it's a small plant.

I really like Sea Shell. Lovely, lovely peonies Annette.


Yan, I am thinking of buying Blue Sapphire for my front garden. I heard Blue Sapphire is kind of small (3'x3'.) I don't have too much space left, and the only spot left is in the front yard, kind-of semi-shade position. I am waiting to see how other TPs in that flower bed will bloom. I am trying to extend the season.

Great, Jasmin,
You can check with "treepeonygarden", they had more info about the shape and bloom time for each TP.
Here comes the second TP, "Fragrant Jade".it fixes for the name, smell really good when it blooms, but the flower from change every year, very unstable.
Hope everyone like it!
