Peonies and Herbs Gardening Tips from Iowa State
Ben Vance from Iowa State University urges planting peonies now from dormant crowns or by dividing existing plants. Five eye divisions work best, sun exposure and shallow, well drained soil aid growth. Water deeply, mulch after frost, and winter roots form. Indoors, parsley and chives can be grown in pots with a balanced mix, kept outdoors until frost, then indoors at a sunny window. Transplanting herbs into soil in pots for summer avoids setbacks and supports winter health.
