Unlock the secrets to extending the life of your gorgeous peonies. Learn simple tips and tricks for blooms that last longer.
One of the biggest drawbacks of growing peonies is their short bloom time. But you can easily plant and blend successive blooms with different flower forms so that peony flowers last for 7-8 weeks from April through June.
If you want a continuous set of peony blooms, here is the order in which they flower through a growing season.
– Woodland peonies– Tree peonies– Herbaceous Varieties– Intersectional hybrids, like Itoh
When planting, keep in mind their light requirements too to get the most blooms out of your peonies too. In general, most peony flowers prefer full sun, particularly herbaceous species and intersectional varieties like Itoh.
Tree peonies can tolerate full sun to dappled shade, however, they will do much better when planted in full sun.
