Hello all.
I have a rotted peony question. I dug up a beautiful salmon peony from my parents garden after my Dad passed away. So it has sentimental value. I planted it in my garden in the fall of 2019, put mulch over it for the winter and it came back beautifully in the summer of 2020. I was not as careful in the fall of 2020 and it had very little growth this spring after an extremely cold winter here in Alberta, Canada. I ended up digging it up and discovering the middle section of it had rotted. (one photo shows the bit of growth and the other shows the colour of the roots) I cut off the dead stuff and put the two remaining healthier sections of the plant in the biggest pots I could find. One root fits nicely and the other bumps right against the sides of the pot. I put it in some soil with small gravel rocks and put some miracle grow in the soil. I will now wait patiently to see if the healthy roots will take hold. I did this about two weeks ago. Is there anything else I should or should've done? I know someone in this forum said not to put them in the sun however it has been quite cool here so I did move them into the sun yesterday. Any thoughts on how to save these precious babies? Thank you.
