I planted a peony last year and noticed it coming back this year! I’m so excited! My great grandmother planted her peonies between 1907-1920 and they are STILL coming back every spring.

Rochelle Hughes I love hearing stories of how long peonies have lasted over generations. I had no idea that anything other than a tree would last so long!

Peonies were planted on the grave of my great grandmother in 1946. They are still growing there.

Our peonies have been transplanted from parent's house 50+years & then transplanted to each house we've called home & there they've thrived. Now I think a splitting would help as they are enormous clumps.

My grandma was my inspiration for gardening. I didn’t realize it when I was young and stupid and would mow her lawn and wasn’t careful around her peonies. I made up for it though. I have about 20 varieties now. Thanks grandma!😊 I hope you’re looking down every summer!

You mean the cemetery has left them alone. My grandma's grave has peony which was her favorite flower and the cemetery dug them up and God knows what happened to them. made me so sad.

When i bought my grandma's house i got her peonies they are about 50 years old i love them dearly

I planted a peony because of you last year, thought it hated me and decided to die and made my peace with that, but lo and behold it’s still ALIVE😭💖

Sometimes the first year after you planted them, they don't do very well or they don't bloom. I always try to wait at least 2 years after planting something to see if it's going to take off or not

🌸 🌿These are really tough and hardy plants. My Mom has a peony that she started from her Grandmother’s peony. Mom planted hers in the ‘80s. The original peony is close to if not over 100 years old now and still blooming. Amazing “old-timey” plants. Here in Tennessee, you can see these blooming in fields that were next to homesteads that are long gone. 🌸🌿

Hi Laura ! I’ve been gardening for 52 years. I love your videos your family and how you so generously share all that you do. I am always amazed at your knowledge and your passion for the same things I’ve loved all my life. It’s getting more and more difficult to get down to care for my gardens but watching you in your beautiful youth get right into it, every morning I’m refreshed to get back out there again. I’m passionate about watching your videos and I really hope you continue to create them so I can vicariously enjoy you and your gardens in my declining years. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. You have brought me so many hours of pure joy I’m very grateful.

My husband got me a bouquet of flowers for Mother's Day and there was a peony in it...and I was thinking yesterday while looking at the flowers that I should try to plant some in the garden. Then POOF, your video popped up! Thanks, Laura!!

Oh MY WORD, the blue with the yellow and now the coral... what a treat for the eyes that's going to be

I LOVE peonies. By far, my favorite flower all around!

Let me just say without even listening to this video that I love, love, love peonies. Good information. Thank you.

Thanks Laura, this is a great refresher video, it's been quite some time since I last planted peonies and I got 5 of them yesterday (all different) for Mother's Day! I'll head outside to start planting as soon as I comb my hair and apply a little makeup (don't want to scare the neighbors). I love all your videos!

I love this flower We have hilly back yard garden i m bit frustrating where i can plant Peonies

I love peonies and what great colors you chose. Coffee with Laura and a nice start to my work week, thanks for all the information!

Gorgeous peonies!! On my list of flowers to grow!

I am so excited to plant peonies! Thanks for all the tips! 💖😘🌸

I grew two peonies from root last year and they flowered. One huge pale pink flower on each they looked amazing. Even if they didn’t flower I think their leaves and stems look nice on their own too.

This couldn't come at a better time. I am ready to plant my peony now!! Thank you!

Beautiful varieties! Peonies have always been a favorite. I am so thankful to have peonies from my Grandmother & my Mom's peonies & I've left some in each home we have had.

Gorgous Laura. Thanks for this lesson. Just beautiful.

Peonies are my absolute favorite flower! Love this video me can't wait to get more in my garden!!!

love all those iris plants behind you where you planted the peony tubers

Peonies are my favorite!

I’ve always loved them. My Nonna has them growing right by the entrance we use into her home. These are beautiful too! On my list!

Love peonies, I need to plant more! Thank you for info on peonies, very much appreciated!🙂🌞🌿🌱💗🥰

Thanks Laura, I loved the slower pace of this video so I could see you plant each Peony. I will definitely try this plant.

This is so informational Peonies are my fav I love how they Blum.

I've always wanted to try my hand at planting peonies. Thanks for this video! You have inspired me! You are such a great communicator too!

I looove peonies! I’d love to see an update on how these are doing!

Thank you Laura, that was exacly all i needed to know about peonies. Mine are almost blooming 👍🏻😊

Thanks Laura, didn't know that about the seed pods! Good tip!

Like many of your viewers, I love peonies as well. I have a long row of them, mixed colors, along my driveway and across the front of the yard. They are so gorgeous when they are in bloom! I salvaged some of the tubers when an old house was being torn down and some others a friend was removing from her old house yard. They were very old when I got them and I have had them for over 20 years and moved them 3 times as I have moved houses. If I have to go, they’re coming with me! I have the grid type supports I got at the dollar store probably 10 years ago.

Thank you for this video! I can't wait to see an update. My garden is not huge, but I will find a spot for some peonies. They're my favorites. Love your videos Laura, you are such an inspiration!

I could watch her videos all day. Excellent information and a pleasant disposition.

They are my favourite flower and luv the smell too- thanx for sharing

Thanks for this video! My mom and I were just talking about planting some peonies but I didn't know very much about them ❤

Total zone envy here. One of my absolute one of my favorites. So wish I could grow them here in Central Louisiana

I love peonies and im going to add some to my garden as soon as I can

So true that they are an awesome beginner shrub. I've had mine 20 years.

Thank you Laura, very helpful like always!

Love your videos, it’s always an inspiration 👍🏼. I never thought peonies were so easy to grow! They’re gorgeous, I’m going to give it a try 😆. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and your passion. Many blessings 🙏🏼

Love, love, love peonies. I also love that support system you showed, I will look for it because we end up using individual stakes for our flowers. I also learned something about the airflow, because each year I cut back the foliage really really early because it always looks burnt and mildewy, despite incredible health of everything else around them. Thanks for your teachings.

Thanks for this I love peonies 💖 Great info ❤️

I have been following you Laura in various videos. Must say I've learned so much from you. I have seven peony bushes and they are doing well. Have been bringing lots inside to make my floral arrangements to enjoy. Will be splitting some of them so that I have more in my garden. I am from Brampton, Ontario, Canada. Happy summer!

Peony, tullips, rose, are my look forward to. Looking forward to see my wild flower annual mix bloom.thank you for sharing!

Omg, I had these bushes that popped up in my yard this spring, and I couldn’t figure out what they were for the life of me. After your video, I’m fairly convinced they’re peonies! This is very exciting. Thank you for your videos! They’ve helped this new homeowner quite a bit! :)

Love peonies! Just moved to Virginia, and my mother-in-law sent us some to plant. I'm going to use your helpful tips, thanks!

This was the very first video I ever watched on your channel and I had to come back and watch again because it started my gardening journey both flowers and vegetables and I just want to say Thankyou!

Love all your information. I have a Peoni out there right now getting ready to bloom!

Love Peonies! I have 6, and they have fat buds ready to pop open soon. My favorite though, are my pink Itoh peonies! Stunning.

You are an excellent teacher! I am watching and learning and planning... I wish you could come and make my yard and garden beautiful!!!

Did you ever take a photo of these peonies this summer? I’m wondering how well they performed. Peonies remind me of my grandma 💛

I have tree peony's growing around a big tree stump in my front yard by the driveway. It looks so beautiful with the roses and irises growing around the garden

I love peonies! My grandma had them on either side of her front steps and they smelled sooo good! Thanks for the great tips! I never even thought of steaking them and the do fall over the first time you get a heavy rain.

We lovethem ours are nearly ready to flower.. andso are the big poppies...

Thank you so much Laura for the helpful tips on peonies, I love them, especially the first type you showed us. I had never seen that flat type of cage before that’s great. Can peonies thrive in a container? Thank you so much.

Thanks so much for this video Laura. I went out the very next day and brought a tuber and planted it 🙈😀

Wish I could grow peonies in Houston. My grandfather could just smile at them and they would grow and bloom!!🥰

Favorite from my childhood ❤️ planted 3 tubors this spring so far only 2 made it. Have others in my garden that have beautiful blooms but no smell so this year looking to plant new ones and aroma is what I am looking for ❤️

I buy a peony every year. Up to four In five years of having my own garden. I have a coral tree peony and wow from a stick to year five, its over 2ft tall. Loads of blooms, I just feed it.

Peonies are my all-time favorite flower in the landscape. I have just ten, but am always on the lookout for more. I love that you can get early, mid and late bloomers to extend the season. That coral one you planted looks very similar to my favorite, 'Paula Faye." And I saw what you did, Laura. I sprinkle my garden with plants named for loved ones to remember them when I wander about it. I once heard from a landscape designer she always places peonies in her designs because even after the blooms are finished they made a nice shrub or hedge.

Peonies are to me the best!

Super helpful! Love peonies!

They also dry beautifully. I cut mine at their peak then hang in a cool dark place upside down.

My peonies are beautiful and I used the rings to stake them, but the rain always makes them droop. This information is great.
