I've finally come to the realization that there are peony varieties that will never do well for me. While that is depressing the wonderful solution is that there are so many varieties with similar characteristics that there's a better than good chance I can find one that is indestinguishable from a desired variety that will perform well in my area. I'm thinking I'll isolate those varieties that underperform in a bed that I can control a bit better, see if I can get them healthy, and get rid of them if not. Anyone else out there with this issue?
