I am not sure what to do. My favorite flower. Once the peonies are cut from their roots for a vase, they can not be propagated. I purchased a peony bush in a large 30gal container from Costco. Is it okay to leave it in the container all summer watering it so that I can wait until fall to plant it in the ground? Inherited a large pot of already established peony.
Two years ago there was one bud Last year and this, not a bud in sight. The pot gets full sun here in northern CA. I added some good dirt and fertilizer which I incorporated as much as possible. All I get is a pot full of beautiful green leaves. Disappointed peony lover I have a Japanese Peony that I bought 20 years ago.
It has grown to be a beautiful bush and each year produces big beautiful flowers, more with each year. Last year I was advised by our local nursery that it needed iron. I was told to apply it over the entire plant. I followed the directions carefully as I treasure this plant. After applying the iron the leaves started turning brown on the edges and they got very dry crispy like Now this year the plant is getting dry and the leaves are turning brown and "crispy edges" are developing.
I don't know what to do at this pointe and don't want to loose this treasured plant. What could be happening? Should I cut it back to the ground? Leave it alone? Hi Sue, It sounds like your peony has been over-fertilized with iron. Try heavily watering around the roots of the peony plant to help to remove or dilute any remaining iron in the soil. Please keep in mind that we are not experts on this type of plant, so it could be a good idea to check in with your local gardening extension or even the nursery who gave you the advice to apply iron in the first place.
We hope this helps! My peony's have been in the same place for 25 years! I should add my father got them from the Sharp Farm and brought them to me. He knew so much about everything any topic. They have always bloomed! Beautiful pink and white flowers. This year, I only have really nice green health bushes. Why didn't they bloom? After the peonies bloom and the stem is left. It looks like there are still seeds that want to bloom.
I know they are not but is that a new bulb? Can I take that and plant it or dry it our so I can plant in the fall? Peonies do not produce bulbs, they produce seed pods. Removing them is advised, so the plant does not put energy into producing seeds—but apparently they can be planted, although it can take 3 to 5 years to get results and in what form is not clear because peonies grow from tubers, not seeds.
Moved the 11 plants to new house. Except for this year. I lost one last year. I have lost 2, and am losing another this year. Two on the end of the row and another fourth from that end. We have chipmunks , voles, and moles. Do they bother the root system? I have noticed holes and tunnels in the area. How can I save my Peonies?
This is one for the experts. I have planted several plants over the past three years. Why are they so tall and do not bloom well.
A few here and there. I have about 10 and they are all over the place. Lack of adequate sunlight is the reason that most plants become spindly; they are reaching for the light.
If you would like to inch plants, then find some that you like that will mature at that height. Peonies usually get higher than that. Sure, but it has to be a very large one at least a foot deep , cover the with only 1 to 2 inches of soil as you would inground , and water well and often, letting the soil get almost dry before watering again. For the last 2 years my peonies have only bloomed on one side of the plant.
Does anyone have ideas? My peonies are the pink type, but every year the colour seems to get lighter and lighter. This year they are almost white. When botrytis is discovered, the affected portion should be immediately cut away and disposed of. Tree ponies are also susceptible to rose borer, which can infest the wood and leave small holes, causing the branches to wilt. The borer adults lay their eggs inside the wood, and the holes in the branches are the most common sign that they are present.
When this is noticed, the damaged areas should be removed and disposed of. Prune back the branch several inches past the affected area. Dabbing a bit of glue onto wounds caused by pruning tree peonies is a technique used by gardeners. Peonies bloom only once a year, for approximately 7 to 10 days. If you are watering your peonies regularly, take care of them, and deadhead when appropriate, your peony plant will remain healthy and will be ready to bloom again the following year. However, not every type of peony flowers at the same time.
If you are looking to fill your garden with continuous blooms, try planting a variety of different peonies that bloom at different times in the season.
Some bloom early in the season while others will bloom later in the season. We hope you enjoyed this post and found it helpful! Deadheading peonies is important for the overall plant health, and the process differs from tree peonies. Happy gardening! Leave a Reply Cancel reply Comment. Enter your name or username to comment.

Gently cup the base of a wilting flower and cut through the stem with pruning shears for a clean extraction. Gardeners should pay attention to their plants every day, and getting rid of wilting blooms should inspire healthier growth elsewhere.
