Thanks Dianne, and your Houki bloom is gorgeous! I hope that I can keep this one alive, and get to see it bloom eventually.
I'm sorry to hear that you can't get peonies locally😔. Maybe if more of your local nurseries knew that they can be grown successfully in your area, they would order them.
I've been told on a previous site, that we couldn't grow peonies in the south. I'm glad I didn't know this when I started planting them, I would have missed out on growing these gorgeous beauties.
