Planting Peonies in Zone 9b 🌸🌸🌸:: Bare Root Peonies in Warm Climates!! Will it Work?!?

“The season of failure is the best time for sowing the seeds of success.” -Paramahansa Yogananda
Welcome to my garden! Today I am planting some bare root peonies in my garden! I have always been hesitant to plant peonies in our warm climate with the fear that they won’t bloom. After lots of research, however, it looks like it might be possible with some TLC! I figure I might as well try and share my success OR failure with all of you! Wish me luck!🤞🏼Enjoy!

    Those are awesome Peony varieties that I can’t wait see them grow!! Congratulations! These are going to be with your family forever as I heard that Peonies are long living perennials with multiple generations!!! You may get surprise blooms this year from some peonies. I was thinking the same that I’ll get blooms 2nd year but I got a surprise in my last spring 😊 in my first year when I fall planted. Most of the bare roots looks so good and lot’s of strong eyes! Fingers crossed 🤞 excited to see the spring results 😍

    Every neighborhood needs a crazy plant lady. Congratulations, you're your neighborhoods! But, you're in good company. That wind was bad. One of my jobs today is to clean up all of the leaves that blew off my neighbor's trees. Yep, all of my leaves are from my neighbor who planted all of their trees on our property line so I get most of their leaves because I live on the south side of them and the wind generally comes from the north. Thanks for letting me rant, Janey, I feel much better now. 😁🙄 Those peonies are going to look beautiful.

    I just found your channel and am so glad! Not a lot of ornamental gardening channels in California 9B. Do you happen to know your Sunset garden zone or the chill hours you get? I’m in San Diego county zone 9b/10a, Sunset zone 21, but am from the Midwest originally. I can grow lots of things I would only have dreamed of in Chicago, like gardenias, plumeria, stephanotis, all kinds if citrus, avocados and mangoes, but have to get low chill varieties of peaches, pears, plums etc. We get probably around 300 chill hours here. But I long for the spring blooming plants I grew up with - peonies, lilacs, tulips…. People say the Itoh hybrids do better here, but the ones I’ve found in nurseries just don’t have the fragrance of herbaceous peonies. I will be very excited to see how well yours do! I have heard of some people growing peonies in LA, so there may be hope for me. Good luck!

    Hi there, it feels good to know I’m not the only one out here in California trying to grow Peonies lol. This year we moved to Southern California but up in the valley, and since we got here our winter has been in the 30’s almost daily and it even snowed/hailed a few days. It’s now beginning to warm up lol in the 40’s and 50’s (not used to the cold at all ,we moved from Silicon Valley) Anyway I think my peonies are loving the cold and thaw because their eyes have busted through the soil and one has even begun to grow its leaves! I wish you all the luscious beautiful peony blooms for your garden. Thank you for sharing with us!
