Yup, sure am. I lost my tree peonies a few years ago to mice. I do have one or two planted from a year or so ago but they are no where near blooming. I drool over all the ones shown here. My bloom date for my trees was pretty much June 20-23 like clockwork. All my herbaceous and Itoh's are doing wonderfully well this year, huge healthy plants and lots of buds. Except for Cora Louise and Julia Rose who are still recovering from last year's wet cold spring and my stupid over watering. Lots so many tubers and bulbs to rot. Won't be doing that again. But learned that peonies are very hardy and if you just leave them alone the tubers will recover and send up new growth the following year. So no more digging up in a year I suspect failure. I wait a year. Saved my Lemon Chiffon that way and it is now healthier than ever and has more blooms than ever. Several have side buds now that I never saw before. Not sure if I should nip them to put more energy to the main blooms. Thoughts?
