Will do! And thank you so much. Trying to keep chin up and most days it’s thanks to nature and this great community that I do ❤❤❤

I sell peonies wholesale every spring in Michigan. Your tutorial regarding cutting secondary buds to divert energy back into the plant and the part about soil amendment was helpful to me. I also did not know about the tip to not harvest all the peonies on a bush, but to dead head some of them instead in order to also divert more energy into the plant. Lastly, I need to learn more about amending the soil with phosphorus as you mentioned too. Thank you!

Love your videos! So helpful. Would love a farm tour. Or even one of these kinds of videos for every type of flower you grow 😍

Thank you so much!😊

I harvested several last weekend as they were all just exploding with our burst of Colorado heatwave. I had a party yesterday I wanted to have them for. They were already opening and so I put them into a paper bag and refrigerator. When I pulled them out on Friday my heart sank as they were all wilted and looked ready for the compost pile. Just for the heck of it I put in a vase of water and like magic they emerged beautifully!!!!!!! I think I was just lucky but so happy that they came back into their beauty

WOOOWWW! Those peonies are incredible 😍 👏 🙌

I appreciate the Itoh peony information. I bought 5 Bartzella roots this year.

Outstanding video, I learned a lot. I, too thought that ants helped the Peonies to open LOL. I think Yellow Peonies are my favorite. Your field is lovely. Cheers from Ottawa, Canada🍁

Your video is so informative and I learn so much from them. Everything I need to know about peonies!

When you store in water, how frequently do you change water? Thanks

Farm tour please! Your peonies are so beautiful and thank you for all the good information.

thank you so much for your videos!! blessings from Ontario Canada :)

I live in a climate too warm to grow peonies (San Francisco). I so completely enjoyed this video!

They are beautiful. Thanks for explaining in detail the best way to grow and harvest them. Love your work 🙏

Would LOVE to see a farm tour!

You are a joy to watch and learn from ❤

Oh thank you! 😊

Peonies are my favourite! A spectacular bloom for a short period of time, but now I know how to extend the joy all summer. Thank you. Bri, I hope you are giving yourself the grace and space to grieve. I’m holding you in my heart.

Another lovely helpful video. Thank you❤

Love peonies 🌸

Thanks so much I always love your videos! Very informative!

Would really like to see a few peonies taken out in August! Please do a video. I plan to grow peonies and if I can store them 4-8 weeks in the fridge, that would be great!

What a great tour!!! We have about 6 peonies here - and I dream of rows of them!! One plant at a time! Thanks for sharing!!!

Great video! Once again so much info. I have an 6 year old Itoh about 3-4 ft tall. It’s planted to close to a couple of hydrangeas( didn’t know any better at the time)when is the best time to transplant? P.S. because of your videos my husband and I are are cutting our plastic consumptions even when we grocery shop. Thanks again and always listening and learning.☀️🌱💕

It's always best to move perennials in the fall. In our zone 2/3 we move perennials in the beginning of Sept. This gives the plants a couple weeks to settle their roots before we get our first killing frost. When you move them, cut the foliage down to help reduce transplant shock.

Super helpful. I wish I had seen this video two weeks ago, but now I know for next year!

Thank you for always putting out such great information! You really have a passion for what you do and it shows 😊

Thank you for sharing!! So many good tips.

This was was informational. Chock full of answers to my questions. Thank you!

Thanks" just the proper advice I needed..

Farm tour please . Such a gorgeous flower 😍

Thanks! One of our homes favorite flowers.

❤ So much great info, as always. And, my goodness that Canary Brilliants!!! I don't have any Peonies in my yard, but I think that needs to change. As soon as the budget allows, adding one to our landscape. Thanks for another great video.

What an amazing informative video! All helpful knowledge for these beauties!! So agree about the black plastic, never found it to be overall helpful in the long run! Thank you so much, really enjoyed your sharing!!!

Yesss. I've heard about storing them so this year I have a wedding and thought this is the best reason to try this method and (fingers crossed) I have peonies in mid july. Have been collecting them for couple of weeks from my garden, moms garden, to-be in-laws garden and putting them in fridges and cellars and hoping..hoping..hoping for the best. 🥰🤞🏻 After this video I'm not so scared anymore and this could work and last till july.

Wow looking amazing over there 🌱🌱💚💚 i would definitely learn alot from you! I made a little shade garden micro climate for benificial insects! Bring on the lady bugs 🥰

ピーチ色のピオニー初めて見ました❤すごく美しいですね😍

thanks

Canary Brilliant is also my favourite Itoh ❤️❤️❤️

Very cool; I didn't know peonies could be stored dry.

thank you so much for all the info. The peonies are so beautiful! Did I hear it correctly - you don't want leaves that have a disease to go into compost, right?

Do you dead head after the blooms are done? I'm sorry if i missed when you told us. Thank you f I r helping me.

@Blossomandbranch

Yes, I do to keep them from putting energy into seed production!

Can I ask what the purple flowers next to the peony are? Thank you, your videos are the best!

Hi! I am now obsessed with soil health too, thanks to you. Started reading Teaming with microbes. So thank you for sharing these ides and knowledge. I was wondering if you could tell me in which video you give the recipe for soil amendment with grass water and mykorhiza? Some time ago I watched it and now I cannot find it anymore.

Goodness, I wish this video was able to come out a month ago. I am in zone 5 illinois and my peonies have all finished blooming. We had a very early and very warm spring. But so much great info for next year. A question if you read this.....unfortunately I need to move some of my peonies around because I planted a few just willy nilly to get them into the ground a several years ago. They are quite large now and I am so afraid of chopping thru the roots when I move them in the fall. I'll be using a garden fork but any suggestions on moving them safely would be appreciated. Am relatively new to peonies.

I am a newbie at peonies and have one in year two. It's still pretty shrimpy and I haven't seen any buds yet. Just to make sure I understand, when I do see buds, I should snip them off during year two? Last year it was small with no buds. This year it's a little bigger with no buds yet. At what year should can I harvest or let it bloom? I am growing for my personal use for cut flowers. Thank you for this VERY informative video. I have a feeling this might become an addiction like my dahlias!

💚👍

❤❤❤👍

Would you suggest a living mulch like the freeping phlox, or wood chips? My peony patch is 2 years old and i need something to supress weeds! Zone 5 in PA

@Blossomandbranch

Ай бұрын

The phlox is slow so if you had to choose between the two I’d do mulch; however ours is starting to spread now (year two)- ask me again next year 😅

I stake my peony with the H shape metal wire that you would use for yard sale signs or signs in general. How is the gardens doing?

My Peony let out one big bloom, I see 4 more buds and they are small and won't open. I am going to move the soil around the bottom, I don't know it looks pretty full to me with green. Last year I got 4 blooms, this is our 3rd year with this plant and I thought it would go crazy.

I rethink buying landscape fabric every time you show your soil!

How often would you swap out the water in the bucket, when storing medium term in the chiller? Also how do you prevent the stem from rotting?

@Blossomandbranch

17 күн бұрын

If temps are low enough they won’t rot, and don’t do too much water! If your temps hover much above 38 you risk rot. I change water every few days!

I have the Canary Brilliance Itoh peony as well. It is not my favourite, Bartzella is my favourite hands down.

How long does it typically take for the fridge stored buds to open up?

@Blossomandbranch

Ай бұрын

About 3 days in my experience but it depends what stage it was harvested at!

I have canary brilliance and it has not bloomed in years ,any tips?

Any tips for peonies that don't bloom at all? Been in the ground for 2 seasons and no blooms 😢

Mine are first year bloomers they’re so heavy flowers laying on ground!!!

What was the name of your favorite peony again?

You didn’t say anything about fertilizer when to fertilize?

@Blossomandbranch

Ай бұрын

We do mention it, i say we fertilize after bloom with aged manure but soils testing is always a good idea to test for excess phosphorus :)
