Love. Thy name is Paeonia.

May 14, 2008

One of my peonies ('Kansas') is ready to bloom! Here she is this morning around 8:30 AM.



Here she is again later this evening beginning to unravel with its beauty!



Here is the entire plant. It has 3-4 buds and is an earlier bloomer than my other peonies.



Just as a reminder:
- fertilize with 5-10-10 in early spring and again mid-season when stems are 2-3" tall and add a few cups of fireplace ash.
- remove blooms as soon as they fade, so they don't waste energy producing seed which will affect next year's growth.
- water deeply and mulch during hot summer months.
