September Time to Plant Pegnies
Peonies should be planted in September to ensure next season’s flowering says J H Burdett of the National Garden Bureau. Plant at a shallow depth, avoid recently manured ground, incline long roots, and cover with four inches of manure. Rich ground aids growth but fresh manure near roots is toxic. select unmanured, rich soil. Division takes five years to bloom from a crown division. some plants never bloom. Discard sensitive or indolent plants and favor free blooming varieties, with red varieties delaying blooms compared with white and pink.
