Today is a nice sunny day with the temperature around 50°F, and no wind.
I dug up a Woody peony from Cricket Hill. It only sent up one set of leaves in2020, and I couldn't find any stem above ground this Fall. I really thought it had died. Dug a hole about a foot in diameter around it, and up it came. I was so pleased it wasn't dead.
It is p. Suffruticosa Fei Yan Hong Zhuang. Flying Swallow in a Red Dress.
I was very encouraged so I did the same thing to the other woody from Cricket Hill. It had much more nurse root left.
I wonder if that is because it is a p. Rockii? Hong Guan Yu Zhu ; in English - Red Crown with Jade and Pearls.
Both were planted in 2017, in really too much shade. Now they are in full sun.
I still have two large woody peonies to move plus Princess Chiffon and several herbaceous.
