GARDEN CLIPPINGS: Peonies can be passed through generations

Everybody’s grandmother grew peonies.

These monster flowers, up to 20 centimetres across, are multi-petalled and available in many colours.   

GARDEN CLIPPINGS: Peonies can be passed through generations Back to video

Peonies’ bold blooms appear in late spring to early summer. Even after flowers fade, peonies remain a handsome plant, with heavily textured leaves that stand proud in the mixed perennial garden. 

The reason why everyone’s grandmother grew peonies is that they live forever. 

While most perennials like to be split and/or moved every few years, peonies prefer to be left alone. They truly can be passed from generation to generation.   

Peonies will grow in full sun or partial shade, but the best performing peonies are grown in the hot sun. 

Give them rich,........
