We planted peonies last fall, and they are blooming! This is so exciting, as it is our first attempt at growing them. You can see how a first year peony bush is quite small, only supporting a few blooms. The variety pictured is called "coral charm," and we also planted deeper pink colors as well as some white varieties.
The benefit of having peonies is that they are one of the first cut flowers to bloom in spring. Peonies need about three years to establish themselves. As much as I want to pick these beauties and put them in a vase, I will just have to enjoy their essence as I walk past the patch!
