Peonies for 7B (Newnan, GA- south of Atlanta)

14 years ago

Hi everyone- I haven't planted peonies before, but grew up with them as a child in NE Oklahoma and still have such wonderful memories of their frangrance, beauty and easy care. What are some peonies that any of you might suggest for my area? I really love the full pale classics.

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!

You should be able to grow any peony you prefer in zone 7B as I do in 8B. Just keep your planting very close to the surface and chilling should be no problem. Al

ATL is hot and humid, so it's best to grow single or half double peony to avoid the flower buds rotten from the heat.
