It's beautiful! I love fluff ball peonies.

My peonies are long gone, so it is nice to see all of the beautiful photos from the cooler parts of the country.

Some of my peonies from this year. Unfortunately I've lost the names of some of them.

ITOH "Hilary"

ITOH "Bartzella"
ITOH "Bartzella" 4 feet across this year with 25 flowers up to 8 inches in diameter!

Lovely Lovely peonies! Bartzella has particularly done well for you, one of my favorites.

Beautiful peonies Brian. I love Bartzella, 2nd year in my Garden, it didn't bloom this year, and the 1st year with Hillary for me.

Thanks, Jan for the Coral Sunset picture.
I have just planted one this year and wondered if it should be coral or will it be a shade of pink?
Yours is definitely coral.

Beautiful pictures..Brian do you do anything special for your ITOH peonies when winter comes ? This will be a first year for mine :)


Most of my peonies took our move from Va to RI like Great little troopers some even bloomed

Beautiful peonies, Brian. My Bart never seems to do much for me. Oh well, there is always next year. :)

Shannon, I'm so glad your peonies made the trip ok and are blooming for you. They are tough plants.

Shannon & Diann, I really don't do much of anything with my entire garden. I deadhead to prevent seeds, clean up the debris in the fall and spread a good layer of chopped up leaves and compost over my garden. Fortunately I haven't seen any evidence of undesirable tunnelling creatures nor do I have a problem with those monster slugs I've seen in warmer clime. My soil is naturally deep and fertile. In the spring I'll cut back the dead branches and spread some pelleted chicken manure before growth starts but that's it. I did put a well ventilated pot over a new one last fall only to prevent being trampled by a couple dogs (and my father )
