Peony Plant Name

Common Name

Soil

"Peonies will grow in most soils provided they are not too wet in the winter. They do well on chalk and in fact prefer slightly alkaline conditions. If your soil is acidic include a handful or two of lime at planting. A heavier soil is preferable to a light one, but it is always beneficial to add some organic matter, which will also improve moisture retention if your soil is dry. In exposed and windy areas, taller varieties may need staking.
Good soil preparation before planting will reap rewards in future years. Dig a hole at least 30cm(12in) deep and wide. Mix in some garden compost and a handful of bone meal or general fertiliser before planting." from Kelways.

Plants grown on sandy soils tend to produce more leaves and less flowers, whilst those growing on clay take longer to become established but produce better blooms.

Sun Aspect

Full Sun - continuous, direct exposure to 6 hours or more of sunlight per day. It will grow in a semi-shaded site, but growth and flowering are maximized in a full sun area.

Soil Moisture

Moist - Soil is moist without being soggy because the texture of the soil allows excess moisture to drain away. Amending your soil with compost will help improve texture and water holding or draining capacity. A 3 inch layer of mulch will help to maintain soil moisture and studies have shown that mulched plants grow faster than non-mulched plants.

Peony Type

Herbaceous Peonies - "In Europe, the French were first off the mark in 1836 when Baumann in Bollwiller established his Nursery, whilst in 1851 Kelways began business in Somerset selling plants to the landed gentry. Unfortunately, following the Great War, British interest waned and most European activity migrated east. Having said that, there are now at least five specialist Peony Nurseries in the UK, selling a wide range of plants. The main herbaceous Peony breeding since the Great War has undoubtedly taken place in the USA, with an enormous number of varied and highly attractive plants being produced by a series of distinguished plantsmen, an activity that continues almost unabated to this day." :-

Species Peonies - "It is difficult to define the word ‘species’ in a way that applies to all natural occurring organisms and this difficulty is known as the ‘Species Problem’. There are over two dozen definitions in use amongst biologists and it is not the purpose of this site to enter a discussion about the various shadings applied to a definition of the word. Instead we shall simply refer to the genus Paeonia and the natural (as opposed to man-made) occurrence of plants within the genus i.e. those which can be described by the generic name Paeonia.
Such plants are classified by taxonomists into different Sections and Subsections, and different taxonomists classify them differently. Recent work has started to rely on DNA analysis and has produced some surprising indications that plants previously regarded as separate are, in fact, naturally occurring hybrids between other species."

20 x 20 (50 x 50)

Grows to 30 x 30 (75 x 75) in America.

Foliage

Bronze cast in early spring becoming Dark Green when mature.

Good Autumn Foliage - At the end of the growing season the leaves may turn vivid red.

Flower Colour in Season.

Rosy Pink flowers with
Single Flower Form
during
Very Early Season in May

After flowering 2-5 carpels are produced as follicles - within, several large, initially red but eventually shiny black seeds of 6×4 mm develop, and each carpel opens by a slit over the entire length. Ripe seedheads may be present during August and September.

anomala has only one flower per stem. This year its first bloom was on 21 May here, but its bloom date relative to any other peonies is widely variable here depending on the winter. The colder and drier (snow rather than rain) the winter, the earlier it will emerge and flower; likewise after wet and or warmer winters it is reluctant to get growing. It also has the habit here of pushing its crown and new growth buds out above the soil line, seeking just a bit more frost please.
I find that this plant does quite nicely in my woodland bed and in the partial shade. It grows well enough in the open field but stays shorter than in the shadier spots. With its attractive foliage it makes a nice textural foil amongst Hostas, as one example.

Comment

Bushy upright shrub. It grows in forest clearings and scrub.

Ongoing Care
Apply a thin layer of compost each spring, followed by a 2-inch layer of mulch to retain moisture and control weeds. Water plants during the summer if rainfall is less than 1 inch per week. Stake tall varieties to keep them upright. After the first killing frost, cut stems back to an inch or two above soil line. The first winter, apply a 4- to 6-inch layer of protective mulch after the ground freezes, to prevent roots from being heaved out of the ground by alternate freezing and thawing. Once your peonies are established, annual winter mulching is not necessary. Remove this protective mulch in the spring.

Suitable for growing:

Front of Border / Path Edges - Soften edges for large masses of paving or lawn with peonies.
Grow as Hedge to divide your garden into separate areas.
Grow for Flower Arrangers to provide your household with your own flowers for your arrangements.
Fragrant Flowers - Smells like Lily of the Valley. Avoid these peonies if scent is not required

List of Desirable Plants (from Vancouver Island Rock and Alpine Garden Society)
Asterisks following entries in the list denote plants known to the author from local gardens. Double asterisks indicate species which have done particularly well in the author's rock garden which is located mostly on south-facing slopes. No, or only short-term experience is available for the unmarked species, but they are expected to perform well and should be tried wherever obtainable.
- Paeonia cambessedessii (Balearic Islands, Corsica)* is a gorgeous plant, the young growth suffused all over with red or purple tints. The dark green leaves have purple veins and are flushed red-purple below. Beautiful, wavy-margined, pink, bowl-shaped flowers are produced in spring. Although it comes from Majorca, it is frost-hardy.
- Paeonia clusii (Crete) white, smallest - is a relatively low (25–50 cm) species of herbaceous peony with scented, white or pink flowers of up to 12 cm in diameter. In the wild, the species can only be found on the islands of Crete and Karpathos (subsp. clusii), and Rhodes (subsp. rhodia). It has pinkish-purple stem up to 30 cm long and glaucous dissected leaves. P. clusii blooms in mid-spring.
- Paeonia tenuifolia (SE Europe, Asia Minor) is rather unusual because of its foliage; tenuifolia means slender leaves. On this peony leaves are pointed and deeply segmented, which is why it is sometimes known as the fern-leaf peony. The flowers are single and cup-shaped with bright yellow stamens in the centre of a very stunning deep red.

4. Peonies by Jane Fearnley-Whittingstall. Published by Harry . Abrams in 1999. ISBN 0-8109-4354-9. This provides all the data needed to choose, plant, and care for 200 varieties of peonies with lists for cut flowers, fragrance, and flowering periods:-
"Herbaceous peonies need about 600 hours of winter temperatures below 0 degrees Centigrade (32 degrees Fahrenheit) as a cold winter period of dormancy every year. With very few exceptions they will tolerate hard frosts (zones 2 through 7) and intense summer heat, but they will not grow in very mild, semi-tropical or tropical areas. If you are in zones 8 or 9, give your peonies the best possible chance by planting them on the cool east or north side of a building or wall, or in shade cast by trees or shrubs, so that the hot afternoon sun cannot reach them. Plant with the eyes (the buds of the new shoots) only just below the surface. Space individual plants 36-48 inches (90-120 cms) apart or plant in groups of 3 of a kind at 24 inches (60 cms) apart with 36-48 inches (90-120 cms) between groups. These distances look impossibly big on the ground but it is important not to plant too close. The plants need air circulating around them to minimize the risk of fungal diseases, and in time they will fill the allotted space. Keep the root area with a thick mulch during the summer, and remove the mulch to expose the roots to cold air in winter. Increase your chances of success by choosing early single, semi double or Japanese varieties (they are bred from species with warmer natural habitats), and give them plenty of water during the hot summer months.
Avoid planting them right under a tree or close to a hedge; the roots will rob the peonies of food and water. The one situation they will not endure is one where their roots are in water-logged soil. As with roses, it is not advisable to plant peonies in soil where peonies have been growing before. In such a situation, replace the soil to a depth of 36 inches (90 cms).
Peonies for warm sites - Big Ben, Bowl of Beauty, Carol, Dawn Pink, Kansas, Kelway's Glorious, Laddie, Lady Alexandra Duff, Miss America, Mt St Helen's (Zone 8), Picotee (zone 8), Sword Dance.
Peonies for Very Cold Sites - Most lactifloras and hybrids don't mind how cold it gets. The following do well in Canada or Finland in Zones 2 and 3: Duchesse de Nemours, Early Scout, Glowing Candles, Lady Alexandra Duff, Madame de Verneville, Marie Crousse, Paeonia tenuifolia 'Rubra Plena', Red Charm, Sarah Bernhardt, Stardust.
Depth of soil to top of the root stock 4-5 inches (10-12 cm) for Tree Peonies. Maximum depth of soil above buds 2 inches (5 cm) for Herbaceous Peonies.
Tree Peonies for Warm Sites - Bai Yu (white jade), Er Qiao (twin beauty), Fen Dian Bai (phoenix white), Hu Hong (Hu's red), Lan Tian Yu (blue sky jade), Luoyang Hong ( Luoyang red), Qing Long Wo Mo Chi (green dragon lying on a Chinese inkstone), Shan Hu Tai (coral terrace), Sheng Dan Lu (Taoist stove filled with pills of immortality), Ying Luo Bao Zhu (necklace with precious pearly), Zhao Fen (Zhao's pink), Zhi Hong (rouge red),Zhuang Yuan Hong (number one scholar's red), Zi Lan Kui (Grand Duke dressed in blue and purple).
Tree Peonies for Very Cold Sites (Zones 3,4) - Luoyang Hong (Luoyang red), Shan Hu Tai (coral terrace), Supreme Pink, Wu Long Peng Sheng (black dragon holds a splendid flower)."

Peony Care from Kelways:-

"Receiving Your Peony
Traditionally we send out field grown plants in the autumn and early winter. This is the best time to plant, but they can be also be planted in the spring. Peony “crowns” have pink buds at the top. Don’t worry if you see a white fungal bloom on parts of the roots. This is quite normal. If you can’t plant for a few days, keep them in a cool dark place and the plants will be fine.
Pot grown peonies are supplied all year and can be planted any time that the soil is workable.

Where to Plant Peonies
Peonies are extremely hardy and adaptable. They grow best in full sun; you can expect fewer flowers in light shade but the blooms will last longer.
Single flowered cultivars seem to do better in shade than doubles. Peonies will grow in most soils provided they are not too wet in the winter. They do well on chalk and in fact prefer slightly alkaline conditions. If your soil is acidic include a handful or two of lime at planting. A heavier soil is preferable to a light one, but it is always beneficial to add some organic matter, which will also improve moisture retention if your soil is dry. In exposed and windy areas, taller varieties may need staking.

Planting Your Peony
Good soil preparation before planting will reap rewards in future years. Dig a hole at least 30cm(12in) deep and wide. Mix in some garden compost and a handful of bone meal or general fertiliser. The most important rule is avoid planting too deeply. The top of the crown (the buds) should be no more than 5cm(2in) below the soil surface. Planting too deeply is the most common reason for a peony failing to flower.

DO NOT OVERWATER NEWLY PLANTED PEONIES, THIS IS THE BIGGEST CAUSE OF FAILURE, PARTICULARLY WHERE THEY ARE PUT INTO DECORATIVE CONTAINERS. IF IN DOUBT....DO NOT WATER

Container grown plants are already potted at the correct level, so plant to the same depth. Don’t worry if the compost falls away while you are planting. If you are planting a group of peonies allow about 75cm(30in) between the plants. Flowering normally starts from the 2nd year after planting.

Caring for Established Plants
Peonies will live for 50 years or more; although they can survive considerable neglect, they will reward extra care. In the autumn cut down the dead foliage at ground level and clear it away. Top-dress with a handful of bone meal or general fertiliser. If mulching, avoid smothering the top of the crown or the plants may become too deeply buried and stop flowering. With acidic soils, an occasional top dressing with lime will prove beneficial.
Watch Kelways video on how to plant herbaceous peonies.

Growing Peonies in Pots
You can successfully grow and flower peonies in pots. Choose a pot at least 30cms (12 ins) in diameter with adequate drainage holes at the base. Use a soil based compost such as John Innes No3. Peonies do not thrive in peat-based composts. Do not overwater, and preferably keep on the dry side. After a few years, plant them in the garden where they will ultimately thrive better.

Moving and Dividing
Move peonies in the autumn. As long as they are replanted at the same depth as before, then flowering should resume without interruption. Although peonies seem to go on forever, they begin to lose vigour after about 20 years and benefit from being dug up and split. This is best done in the early autumn as the foliage dies down. The crown should be carefully lifted and the soil washed away to expose the eyes. Using a heavy knife or a pruning saw, remove any dead, woody root, and then cut the crown into pieces each containing about 3-5 eyes. These can be replanted.

Peony Pests and Problems
Peonies are remarkably pest and disease tolerant. Rabbits and deer do not touch them. Vigorous, well-grown plants rarely have problems. The most common problems are fungal diseases. Peony Wilt (Botrytis) can cause stems to rot and collapse, usually just before or after flowering. Cladosporium can cause dark blotches, on the leaves from July onwards. Generally neither of these conditions will kill a peony.
Good hygiene and cultural practices is the key to preventing and dealing with any fungal attack. Maintain a good airflow around plants by not overcrowding them, particularly at ground level. If any stems collapse with Botrytis, or if any leaves become spotty, remove them immediately which will help prevent the spread of infection. In the autumn cut off all the foliage and dispose of to prevent reinfection the following spring.

Peonies and Ants
As the flower buds develop they exude a sweet sugary substance. This is a magnet to ants, which often can be seen crawling all over the plants. Don’t worry. They will not damage your peony, unless they nest within the roots.

Peony Care Checklist

Plant in a sunny or lightly shaded position
Most soil types, but preferably not too wet in the winter
Add plenty of organic matter when planting.
Plant with the top of the crown no more than 5cm below the soil surface
Feed with a general fertilizer in the spring, and again in the autumn
Move or divide in the autumn

Asclepius became jealous of his pupil; Zeus saved Paeon from the wrath of Asclepius by turning him into the peony flower. Most peony are herbaceous perennial plants 0.5–1.5 metres (1.6–4.9 ft) tall, but some resemble trees 1.5–3 metres (4.9–9.8 ft) tall. Herbaceous peonies such as Paeonia lactiflora, will die back to ground level each autumn. Their stems will reappear the following spring. However tree peonies, such as Paeonia suffruticosa, are shrubbier. They produce permanent woody stems that will lose their leaves in winter but the stem itself remains intact above ground level. " from Wikipedia. "Peonies will grow in most garden soils as long as they are not too acid or waterlogged during the winter." from Martin Page in creating "The Peony Society" website. Peonies love moist and rich organic nutritious soil. From the Plant Expert:- "Species - There are somewhere between 35 and 50 different species of peony (i.e. plants belonging to the genus Paeonia). However, most of these botanical species grow wild in Asia, southern Europe, or western North America. Very few of them are culivated and sold commercially. The few that are available are usually not as large and showy as the peonies we see growing in neighbourhood gardens. When the term "species peony" is used by a nursery or commercial grower, it basically means: "wild peony which we've 'captured' and made available to you non-explorers because you want something rare and different". While they are rare, and different from most garden peonies, they are also not as spectacular bloomers. Herbaceous peony- The species of peony which is probably most important commercially is the Paeonia lactiflora. This species is native to central and eastern Asia. In particular, it occurs in northern China, and has been cultivated there for perhaps 1,600 years. There are at least 3,000 registered cultivars (i.e. cultivated varieties) of Paeonia lactiflora (and probably even more which have never been registered or marketed). Most of the peonies sold commercially are either culivars of Paeonia lactiflora, or else hybrids, with some of its genes. Lactiflora Cultivars vs. Herbaceous hybrids - Historically, most varieties of peony sold were cultivars of P. lactiflora. However, these varieties often didn't have strong enough stems to hold the large blossoms upright. As a result, most of the lactiflora cultivars needed staking. In response to this, the newer herbaceous hybrid peonies were developed. These have stronger stems, so that staking isn't needed. However, herbaceous hybrids aren't floriferous; that is, they usually don't have side buds — they typically produce only one bud per stem. Cultivars of Paeonia lactiflora are often referred to as "Chinese peony", "garden peony", "bush peony", or "herbaceous peony" (the names are used interchangeably in catalogues). Strictly speaking, the term "herbaceous" means that the plant dies down in the fall, and new growth comes up in spring. This is true for most species of the Paeonia genus. It is NOT true, however, for the species which is normally called the Tree Peony. Tree Peony - Tree peonies (Paeonia rockii) have woody stems that lose their leaves in the fall, but the woody stems stay intact. They tend to bloom earlier and with larger flowers than the herbaceous peony. Despite this, they are generally not as popular as herbaceous peonies, because they are such slow growers. They have been of most commercial interest recently as a source of hybrids, which are called "Intersectional peonies". Intersectional Peony - Intersectional Peonies are hybrids; they are derived from a cross between a white Herbaceous Peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Kakoden') and a yellow hybrid Tree Peony (Paeonia x lemoinei) carried out in 1948 by Mr. Toichi Itoh. For this reason, they are also known as Itoh hybrids or Itoh peonies. Intersectionals are valued because they are available in colours that traditional peonies can't produce — in particular, more intense shades of yellow, peach, and coral. These plants have the lovely leaf form of the tree peonies, but die to the ground in the winter like herbaceous peonies. The plants are strong and healthy with a nice rounded bush form, but are generally shorter than most bush peonies. Since they are recent introductions and are still in short supply, they are usually quite expensive." Carsten Burkhardt's Web Project Paeonia has a Peony Database with names of peony species and cultivars from a-z with pictures of more than 3400 species & cultivars.

With a view to easing the task of selection here are lists of alpines most likely to thrive and flourish under certain easily defined conditions and for special purposes, with Alpines and Paving. The standard potting and seed-soil recipes from The Propagation of Alpines by Lawrence D. Hills are at the bottom of the page on Alpine - Sink and Trough Gardens.

Don't wash your hair in the shower (It's so good to finally get a health warning that is useful) IT INVOLVES THE SHAMPOO WHEN IT RUNS DOWN YOUR BODY WHEN YOU SHOWER WITH IT ..... A WARNING TO US ALL I don't know WHY I didn't figure this out sooner! I use shampoo in the shower! When I wash my hair, the shampoo runs down my whole body, and printed very clearly on the shampoo label is this warning, "FOR EXTRA BODY AND VOLUME." No wonder I have been gaining weight! Well, I got rid of that shampoo and I am going to start showering with Dawn dishwashing soap instead. Its label reads, "DISSOLVES FAT THAT IS OTHERWISE DIFFICULT TO REMOVE." Problem solved! If I don't answer the phone I'll be in the shower!
