Macro Phylla is beginning to bloom. It was the most frost damaged from this spring.
Growing tree peonies has been an interesting process. Almost all of the tree peonies that I have purchased came with buds, bloomed, and then all above ground growth has for various reasons died. The next spring new shoots pop up and most of the growth has occurred from the new growth at ground level. The weather patterns here in the south don't seem to be ideal for bloom, but are ideal for growing. The freeze and spring thunder storm patterns damage the blooms. Itohs on the other hand, seem to be ideal for the south if for no other reason they bloom about one month later and weather wise it makes all the difference in the world. Just some thoughts about growing.
