We are told to plant peonies in the fall, but nothing happens above ground until spring? Do the roots continue to grow
in winter? If so what is the energy for this?
Stored in root? Or is the fall planting just so they have been
vernalized?
Is there a chart somewhere which would tell what peony roots are doing throughout the year? There are charts for bulbs which show the growth stages,but I have not come across one for peonies?
