Anya, Scarlett O'Hara blooms like crazy here out in the ABG bed. Surrounded by all sorts of other plants, some even taller, but by the time the others get their height SO is through blooming. Still gets plenty of sun though to build its roots.
Jerry, I was reading in one of my peony books that they recommend never planting a peony in ground that has had a peony before. Like you said, it deplete the micro nutrients. But I thought that azomite would help replace them. Not fertilizer, but minerals that peonies need long term. I dug up a peony in one bed as it as a noid and I wanted to put one of my new named peonies there. Now I am not sure what to do.
I was pleased to see pips on all three of the Garden Treasure that I divided. I am so frightened of dividing as it looks like such a tangled mess and it is so difficult to avoid breaking roots in the process of sawing (yes, I used a saw) the roots apart.
