Peony
I am longing to grow a Peony. Can SKS advise me as to what pink doubles do
best in our zone 7, and where does one get this plant? Also when is the best time to find and plant one? (and if not a double pink, what would do best?) Thanks, Jackie in Rocky Mount |

I am longing to grow a Peony. Can SKS advise me as to what pink doubles
do best in our zone 7, and where does one get this plant? Also when is the best time to find and plant one? (and if not a double pink, what would do best?) Thanks, Jackie in Rocky Mount i have one, glowing candles i believe it's name is, that i purchased from white flower farm about 5 years ago. absolutely beautiful! a delicate pink with yellow center. they are considered a single, but they are far from single. take a look: www.whiteflowerfarm.com when you look for a variety that will do well in this area, try and find some that are not too ruffley, and are early season. if you don't, they will get mouldy or mildewy while in bud and never bloom. also, they will be labeled full sun--don't do it! find a rich, well drained spot with half day sun at most, dappled sun is best. the foliage on mine will go dormant by the end of the season, looking for all the world to have died, then come back next year twice the size. there is always festiva maxima, easy to find, and prolific after a few years, but it is white with red flecks, still, very beautiful, a classic. gena |
