| I'm so happy I had to share, my peonies are finally blooming again! I've had them for 26 years and they have moved with me 3 times, but the last 2 times have not been the best time of the year to do it. Both times ended up having to move them in July, so they haven't bloomed in 4 years the first couple I think I had them planted to deep, I have them in pots now and they are happy and healthy nice to see flowers on them again!!! I think this goes to show how resilliant these plants are.

| Aren't Peonies wonderful. We have found that a lot of times, it is not the act of re-potting, but the material you use to re-pot that prompts the newly enthusiastic blooming. Most blooming plants need phosphorus to produce blooms. We recently moved into a house that had beautiful gardenia bushes in front. The previous owners said they never had really bloomed very much, maybe a dozen or so each season, but they were nice when they did. I started a regiment of high phosphorus fertilizer (10-50-10) in the winter and through the spring. I am thrilled to say that we ended up with about 500 blooms on 10 feet of bushes this spring. They have been spectacular. The entire neighborhood smells wonderful these days. Best of luck! |
