Peonies Are The Spring Garden Show Offs
Peony blooms are spectacular, they’re truly show offs in the garden this time of year. No matter what color you have, you definitely know when they’re in bloom in your garden.
I think peonies are easy to grow, just give them a well drained sunny, or partially sunny location and they’ll take off.
They don’t spread, they just get a little larger each year. You can divide a chunk off of a mature plant to start someplace else in your garden.
The only drawback to peonies is the ant attraction. Ants love peonies, and not just your Aunt Bessie. When peonies bloom they’re crawling with ants. I have my peonies planted in my hillside garden, away from the house, so the ants don’t really bother me. I wouldn’t recommend planting your peonies right up against the house, or near a children’s play area.
I would still recommend peonies to anyone who is looking for showy big bold beautiful blooms they can admire in the garden, or bring in for a fabulous table centerpiece (just make sure you leave the ants in the garden).
