Very pretty Liz, I'm starting to feel like I live in zone 4b. They recently changed the zone maps, and put us in a warmer zone, they seriously need to rethink that!
I'm still glad however for the chilling time, I'm looking forward to seeing the peonies this spring.
When do you fertilize your peonies, if ever? I know some people don't. I started in February last year, I'm at a loss as to when to begin the process this year, with the crazy weather we're having.
