Can't wait to see the peonies thank you for sharing your ideas. 👍🤎🇨🇦

Looking forward to seeing the results!

Hi again....in the beginning of this season....early spring I was googling where to buy peony plant and I kept seeing pics of these tubers! I had no idea what they were so fist lesson learned was you could buy tubers to grow...lol I was shopping too late in season to start as tubers so I bought 1.5 gallon size at a nursery...they were about $25 ea.....really appreciate your videos! 😊kim

Where did you get that holy grail, absolute unit of a bag of roots?!? Where????

Wow! Good to watch these peony videos. We grow them also.

I have a peony up now! Watching to see what I can do to help one in the bed! Ordered some Peters fertilizer by your link. I am sure it needs some.

Can you link to the site where you purchase your pots, please?

Hello! Curious to see your progress. What type of potting soil did you use?

@savvydirtfarmer

Homemade mixture of double ground hardwood bark mixed with pine bark. Numerous ways to mix your own potting soil.. it has to hold some moisture and it has to drain well... those are really the only two requirements.

Where did you get the peony roots? My supplier is out of business.

that soil scoop is what I'd like to know about - where you got it from. Great design. Can't find anything like it around my area. Can you tell where you got it? Amazon has one similar but doesn't have the cut out on the handle to enable it to hang on a wheelbarrow side or whatever. thanks

I think Tractor Supply. It's probably in the livestock feed area of the store, or one similar to it. Any store that sells livestock feed should have some kind of scoop.

You should have experimented with a few of them indoors as well. If you're going to experiment, you may as well go all the way! That's my motto!

I usually plant a couple every year in my yard. LOVE THEM. These roots from Devroomen are truly exceptional. The ones you get in stores are small and don't have many "eyes"

Well I know they need to be planted at least 2 feet apart, because they grow very big and very fast. Every 2 or 3 years need to divide the plant. Also pots need to have lost of space to grow since the roots grow faster than the plant. No water at all and lots pf sun. That’s what I do with my 7 year old peony plant

Peonies hate being moved, if planted and left alone they will provide joy for generations, but if moved very likely they will give 1 or none flowers in first one or two seasons

Is this your own personal nursery?

Yes. It's a backyard hobby/nursery.

Check out my Peonies playlist or a couple videos back I did my first sale. It's in there.

Peonies are one of my favorite plants. The only downside to them is that they bring ants. Otherwise, I love them.

Where and how can we preserve peony roots?

Hi Jennifer. Devroomen nursery. I buy in a lot of bare root plants from them.

Appreciate your admission the that you are not professional. Me neither but i found that you should keep the crown of a peony out, never cover them all up. They just grow better this way. Wishing you a great outcome!

The need a cold period while dormant. But India has other amazing flowers that won’t grow in colder climates.

Not helpful at all. What soil what time of year, where do the pots go? This was no help at all. Waist of time.
