We had terrible winds, too Shawn. So sorry you had damage. I hope it recovers.
So it did get down to 29°F here last night. I covered as much as I could, but of course I couldn't get it all. Because of the high winds , I couldn't use my long sheets of frost cloth. I prioritized my efforts on peonies with buds, and those that I had never seen bloom before. I took these photos this morning before I uncovered everything.
Angel Emily is a favorite and has 7 buds. I put two bamboo stakes beside here so the frost cloth wouldn't be resting on the buds.
I used Costco leaf bags for the ones that were tall
These are all early ones,Quitzen, Greenland, Prosperity Maude, and Claire de Lune and others full of buds.
Blonde Vision had to be under my largest flower pot! She has a lot of buds.
Lavender Hill got a sheet. Poor Dawn Glow didn't get covered and is laying over.
The purple and white bed got a lot of protection!
It is a lot of work, but I just love my peonies, and do my best. We will see what blooms in just a few weeks.
