Gorgeous! I inherited a 40 foot row of old school, weak stemmed, but STUNNING pink peonies that are over SEVENTY YEARS OLD! They still are covered with lush fragrant blooms every June. Mine are not quite ready to bloom yet in 5B. IMO, Peonies and Delphiniums are the queens of the flower world. THANK YOU for these helpful tips. I had no idea that you could put them in cold storage like that!

Hi......I inherited my mom's place, her/my Peonies are now 37 yrs old and blooming today, zone 7b. Agree, Peonies and Delphiniums are the beauties of the garden. Delphiniums were my mom's favorite flower, Foxglove happen to be mine.

This was the most helpful video on peonies that I have ever seen.

Free tulip bulbs for the public to take in NYC, Park Avenue. Tulip Dig is the event. This week only. I took a walk along Park Avenue yesterday. Only very tiny portion was taken so far. They planted 60 thousands bulbs this year. The tulips were very beautiful!

Thank you Danielle for another great comprehensive, fact filled video. Yours are the only videos that I go to when I need facts on how to do things.

Totally agree!!! Thanks Danielle

Thank you Danielle! So timely. My peonies are almost getting ready to open. The ants 🐜 have arrived 💚🌸

I had no idea you could harvest peonies for such a long time (in storage)!!!! thank you for sharing these tips and tricks for beautiful peony storage, Also, thank you for clarifying that it takes several years for peonies to bloom. I dug up and transplanted my mother's peonies after she passed and her house was being leveled. It took YEARS for me to get a bloom off of those peonies - it is great to know that that is normal :)

Absolutely beautiful!

I really appreciate your videos and all the great info you pass along. Thank you 😊

You really are a great teacher! Thank you for another great video!

Your explanations are so helpful!

Thanks Danielle this is a great video and perfect timing!!!!!

It’s always so exciting to walk into my local shop and see peonies available🌸

So much great information! I learned a lot from this so thanks!

Thanks Danielle. I transferred a few peoni roots to a different open area about 6 months ago. I just took out the huge clumps of roots with a shovel and they were divided roughly (sliced basically) but hopefully they will survive.

Such a useful quick video. You answered questions I didn’t even know I had! Thanks

Such great and helpful information! Dry storage is truly amazing, thanks for teaching us!

Super informative and helpful . Thank you 😊

Thanks so much for your info. Peonies are my absolute favorite spring flow! You do such an amazing job!

This was so helpful! I’ve watched it twice already. Thank you!

This was an extremely helpful video, learned some new tips. Thank you.

My Gawd they are magnificent!!!!

Great video Danielle!

Another great video Danielle!! You convinced me to get some festiva Maxima peonies last year after seeing your memorial day arrangements. They were so beautiful. Thank you 😊

Peonies are one of favs! Lovely flowers and tips!!!! Love your channel so much🦋

Thank you Danielle! These videos are so informative and helpful. I really hope you continue telling us about other flowers as well. Where I live we still have tulips in bloom. Peonies are next to come. I already can see tiny buds.

Beautiful!

Awesome information for this novice Gardner! Thank you :)

Stunning

Greetings from the Olympic Peninsula in Washington state! I got a little peony last year so your info was timely! 🌻

Thank you for sharing this great info! You are my go to gal on all flower questions. Your videos are clear and to the point. And you are the sweetest!

Great, great video! I always learn something from you! Thank you so much. ☺️🌸🌿💚

Very helpful Danielle...thanks👍🏻🌷

Great info - love your videos! Can you please do a video about dividing peonies, daisies, etc? Would love to hear you talk about them. Thanks!!

You are awesome! You share such great knowledge!

1st year FF here in 5B. Just wanted to comment how great all of your "harvesting tips" are. Huge thank you!!! Happy spring🌼

You are a wonderful teacher! I learned so much from your videos. I will be using this information.

Thank you for excellent information.

Thank you Danielle 🌷💚🙃

Such an informative video!

Great information. I'll remember the "stale mushroom" tip. I end up planting most of my bulbs and tubers here in SC in the late winter/early spring. If I plant them in the fall, active, curious squirrels disturb them before they can form any kind of roots.

This ia amazing, fabulous information for those of us ordinary gardeners! Thank you so much!

Such great information! Thank you 💐🥰💕

Thanks, Danielle!

Very helpful information. Thank you.

Thank you for such detailed information! I followed your instructions and timed different varieties to open at different stages, in order to create a flower arrangement for my husband after a long, tiring work trip. The arrangement is the first thing he saw when he walked into the house. I plan to use your tips to extend the peony season here in zone5b. Thanks and keep up the good work!

thank you for this information... i tried to keep some last year and they didn't open but now watching your video i will do what you mentioned and hope for good luck...love my peonies so much that i want to enjoy as long as i can plus my daughters favorite so if i can bring her some weeks later even better.

Your information gave me hope that I can enjoy peony flowers for longer than their short blooming time! I am ordering some for fall planting and look forward to having beautiful blossoms in the future.

Hi! I'm a small-scale flower farmer in Japan and always enjoy your videos. Your gardens and flowers are so beautiful and your talks are informative!

May I ask where you purchased your peonies roots? I’ve never seen any that look so healthy! My goodness, they are huge! Thanks for this video! It answered soooo many of my questions! Thanks!

🌺🌹wooww...beautiful flowers🌺

wow, so beautiful!...binging the videos, thank you!

Great information, thank you!!

Here in 7b GA, I plant shallow with the eyes showing above ground. I pull all the mulch back in the Fall so they can get as cold as possible over the winter. This works very well for me.

Hi Danielle, you have a lot of knowledge of dry flowers , it is very interesting. Bye 👋

Wow so much beautiful 🥰

We’re in the UK and our peonies are in marshmallow stage so I will follow your advice and harvest later!

LOVE YOU!!!!

Great video! I planted a few peony roots last spring. They did not produce foliage last year, but this spring they have a stem or 2 of foliage. I'm wondering if they are planted too deep, if so can I just lift them so that maybe next year they do better? Or should I wait until fall to do this?

I’d love to hear tips on growing foxgloves. I live in zone 5

Great video thank you. i have a question, how do you support your peony plant in the garden? Mine had so many heavy blooms they were bent over to the ground. TIA.

Super helpful tips! Thank you! What about the ants? Any tips on how to leave the ants in your garden verses part of your bouquet?

Thanks so much for such an informative talk. I always learn so much from your channel! Although my peonies are gorgeous, I hesitate to bring them in. The ants are everywhere. Without resorting to sprays, are there any ways to leave the bugs outside where they belong? Thanks!!!

Thank you for such great information! If I harvest the main center peony bloom with a short stem, will the other smaller buds on that stem mature and bloom later?

Question: I am cold storing some peonies for a wedding. They have been in the fridge for about two weeks. What should they look like? I had to take a peek at them. I need to store them for a couple more weeks.

I gotta uncover my peony shoots; they're too deep. Thanks for the tip.

Gorgeous peonies. Are these the Sarah Bernhardt ones? Love their exquisite fragrance.

My peonies are blooming this year, after several, several years of no blooms. I was diligent about giving the plant mushroom compost and fertilizer in early spring and when the plants were about 8-10", more fertilizer. Unfortunately, I have only 3-4 blooms. I am fine with keeping the blooms on the plant but wonder if this will negatively affect the plant's performance in the future. Any thoughts or suggestions? Thank you!!

Hello, love your peonies. What kind are those pinks? I’m in 5b and I grow peonies too, I have huge buds now on my tree peonies, first one to bud is the Dojean, only 2 years old and it has 7 buds! I’m so excited. My first herbaceous to bloom is Sweetie Pie, a dark pink single; then Scarlet O’Hara, a dark pink single, and Red Charm a double red bomb. They are such interesting flowers.

Thank you so much for your informative video! My daughter's wedding shower is in June and I have a beautiful peony bush that she loves (in white).

If you have the space for it (in your daughter's hand to hold the bouquet) I would go for these 'test glasses' and keep the stem in water. At least it won't hurt. I'm not sure where you live and if June will be hot. You can cover up the complete stems with fabric, tulle and a fancy cord or so, to hide the test glasses. Congratulations on the wedding and have fun!

I have 4 peonies planted together this is the 2nd year 2 plants have buds forming 2 plants do not. I think i plant not more than 2 inches below the eyes, can i remove some soil in hope they will bloom? Should i transplant the 2 that are not blooming being extra careful of planted depth?

Hi Danielle! Love the video! I have a question! Is it ok to cut most of the blooms of of a large peony bush. Or do you need to leave most of them to keep the plant healthy? Thanks in advance!

Hi Jaclyn! Yes that should be fine! As long as you leave as many leaves on the plant as possible it will be great for many years to come.

My peony plant has so many buds in one stem. How do I maximize the blooms? I hesitate to cut the stem because they are at different stages - some are really just new buds.

So glad I came across this video. I would love you advice! My daughter is getting married in my backyard in two and a half weeks. My peonies are starting to bloom now. I have some fully open flowers but tons of buds at marble and marshmallow stage. They are so beautiful…exactly like the bouquet are holding. I would love a way to use them for the wedding. To be able to fill vases and mason jars would be great. I don’t have a cold space other than a very cool basement. What could I do??

Hi Tracy. You can dry store the ones in marshmallow stage in your refrigerator. Pick and store only marshmallow stage. Just take care not to place apples or bananas in the frig at the same time. Those emit ethylene gas which can hurt the buds. Also make sure your frig is not set too cold and do not place them near the very back of the frig. It's colder in the back and they may freeze. Trying for that ideal 34/35 is best. I hope that helps!

If I transplant peonies, does that timeline for waiting to harvest start all over?

Mine are not blooming in year two. Should we dig them up in case the eyes have been buried too deep or wait until next spring?

Will they store in regu;ar refrigeratior?

Great video! What can I do about the peony plants I have that aren't blooming? Should I dig them up and make a more shallow spot for the tubers? Or just wait until they bloom one day?

Hey its really really hard to make them too shallow..one of my plants had some soil erosion around it and in the middle of the winter I could see part of the tubers exposed directly to the snow..came back totally fine in the spring.

I see in peonies Bunch of flowers that there is no apricot once I’ve bought one I just hope it comes out God bless

My peony buds are very small. Is there a tip on how to get bigger buds? Thank you!
