Hello all!
I'm a new gardener. I've been learning as I go, but still a way to go. I looove peony. Ive planted 5 in my yard, (zone8) two bought from a nursery and already sprouted, three roots. One of the plants from last year, just wasn't coming up with all the others. I was concerned and went poking around. 🤦🏻♀️I broke off two little sprouts that were under the surface. I'm so mad at myself and wondering now if I've killed it. There were only two shoots that came up last year, but I bought it that way, so I have no idea how many eyes were in the root.
Do you think it may survive?
Another plant I'm worried about is one I've planted from root. This is the second year and it's still just so tiny, with only one short shoot. When I planted I was t aware it needed to be super shallow so I'm wondering if I should dig it up this fall and move it up? Does this seem like a reasonable assumption? My other root looks much bigger, if however, still budless. Stressing these plants so much! My husband Thinks it is hilarious. I was gone with the kids the last week and he sent me pictures of my very first bloom. Lol. I'm so sad it happened while I was gone. 😔
I'll attach a picture of my tiniest little shoot and the bigger one, out of which I planted last spring. And my first bloom bc I'm so stinking excited. Thanks for any help, advice!!
