The PeOnies are coming!
Soon, I will ask them to pose for some new pics for you.
Think they'll come through for me?
A little info on cutting them to enjoy inside the house.

"For displaying peonies indoors, select buds that are just opening. The striking blooms will unfold in a few days. And cut the stems with only a few leaves. The plants need to foliage to produce food for the following year."

A few more peony tips:
1. If you need to move peonies, transplant in EARLY FALL.
2. They like to stay put so choose location carefully. A sunny to partially shaded spot protected from wind.
3. Plant in autumn when the little red buds on the crown are visible.
4. Use a green screen for support so that the plant will not snap in the wind.
5. Support peonies (ours are all either cozied up in front of a shed or in front of a picket fence. they do not stand well alone.
6. You can add additional support by giving them a string fence, setting this up early before the buds break.

Thanks for this information. My husband found some on sale a few years ago and brought them home. I planted them--never dreaming that all 14 would come up! My site was not the best and they need to be moved. Now I know when and how! Thanks.
Oh, goody! Ours are nearly gone so I will get to enjoy yours now. Very good info for sure.
TTFN ~
Have a lovely week ~
