Happy Monday, Garden Friends!
My grandmother's peonies started blooming last week and they're SO gorgeous (see image in the header quote). ;-)
Her peonies are the Tree Peony variety but there are a total for four kinds.
Four Types of Peonies Tree Peonies - deer resistant, gigantic, non-fragrant flowers on slow-growing woody perennial shrubs that can live for centuries in zones 4-9. - Herbaceous Peonies - popular, disease resistant, variety of colors and fragrance great for cut flowers; blooms late spring in zones 3-8; die back each winter but lasts for generations.
- Woodland Peonies - white flowers, can grow in partial shade; low-growing, 1-1.5' tall in zones 3-8
- Intersectional Peonies - a deer and disease resistant hybrid of tree and herbaceous types, this Itoh peony produces prolific, long-lasting, heavy foliage and blossoms known more for colors than scent.
What's bloomin' in your garden? We'd love to hear from you and/or see photos via email or on our Facebook Page!
