When I had 3 peonies before my obsession started I had no idea that they were fine in our climate. I was so happy every time they showed a pip! Now I am almost sure they will show up although anxiously check the growth
Especially of newly planted ones because they are the last to show. Fortunately all peonies start all together here, right after the soil thaws. They are in a hurry, the growing season is so short.
