I planted a peony last year and noticed it coming back this year! I’m so excited! My great grandmother planted her peonies between 1907-1920 and they are STILL coming back every spring.

Peonies were planted on the grave of my great grandmother in 1946. They are still growing there.

When i bought my grandma's house i got her peonies they are about 50 years old i love them dearly

I planted a peony because of you last year, thought it hated me and decided to die and made my peace with that, but lo and behold it’s still ALIVE😭💖

🌸 🌿These are really tough and hardy plants. My Mom has a peony that she started from her Grandmother’s peony. Mom planted hers in the ‘80s. The original peony is close to if not over 100 years old now and still blooming. Amazing “old-timey” plants. Here in Tennessee, you can see these blooming in fields that were next to homesteads that are long gone. 🌸🌿

I’ve learned that I should always watch your videos when I have questions about planting something. This has been the best video I’ve watched on planting peonies. You answered all my questions and the way you present things doesn’t stress me out, it inspires me instead. 😊 THANK YOU!

Hi Laura ! I’ve been gardening for 52 years. I love your videos your family and how you so generously share all that you do. I am always amazed at your knowledge and your passion for the same things I’ve loved all my life. It’s getting more and more difficult to get down to care for my gardens but watching you in your beautiful youth get right into it, every morning I’m refreshed to get back out there again. I’m passionate about watching your videos and I really hope you continue to create them so I can vicariously enjoy you and your gardens in my declining years. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. You have brought me so many hours of pure joy I’m very grateful.

This was helpful. Could you please do a video on dividing peonies to make new plants?

I planted some peony tubers 3 years ago and they finally have buds this year. I can’t wait to see these beautiful flowers finally blooming in my garden!

My husband got me a bouquet of flowers for Mother's Day and there was a peony in it...and I was thinking yesterday while looking at the flowers that I should try to plant some in the garden. Then POOF, your video popped up! Thanks, Laura!!

As a Chinese , I m so happy to see Laura plant our national flower in her garden.

This couldn't come at a better time. I am ready to plant my peony now!! Thank you!

Thanks Laura, this is a great refresher video, it's been quite some time since I last planted peonies and I got 5 of them yesterday (all different) for Mother's Day! I'll head outside to start planting as soon as I comb my hair and apply a little makeup (don't want to scare the neighbors). I love all your videos!

Peonies are my favourite flowers! Growing up in Montana they were always blooming on Memorial day.

After a hard day at work (or just a bad day) I love to come home and find a video from you! A cup of tea and Garden Answer is just what the Doctor ordered! Thanks so much to you and your husband for all your wonderful videos! And I can't wait to see the rest of the chicken run videos!

Proper planting depth is so important to them blooming.

Like many of your viewers, I love peonies as well. I have a long row of them, mixed colors, along my driveway and across the front of the yard. They are so gorgeous when they are in bloom! I salvaged some of the tubers when an old house was being torn down and some others a friend was removing from her old house yard. They were very old when I got them and I have had them for over 20 years and moved them 3 times as I have moved houses. If I have to go, they’re coming with me! I have the grid type supports I got at the dollar store probably 10 years ago.

Oh MY WORD, the blue with the yellow and now the coral... what a treat for the eyes that's going to be

I have my grandmother's peonies from her garden when she passed more than 20 years ago and they are still going strong.

Let me just say without even listening to this video that I love, love, love peonies. Good information. Thank you.

Hey. I know it be almost a year. Can you do a follow up on these peonies. Please.

I love peonies and what great colors you chose. Coffee with Laura and a nice start to my work week, thanks for all the information!

I’ve always loved them. My Nonna has them growing right by the entrance we use into her home. These are beautiful too! On my list!

I LOVE peonies. By far, my favorite flower all around!

Love, love, love peonies. I also love that support system you showed, I will look for it because we end up using individual stakes for our flowers. I also learned something about the airflow, because each year I cut back the foliage really really early because it always looks burnt and mildewy, despite incredible health of everything else around them. Thanks for your teachings.

This was the very first video I ever watched on your channel and I had to come back and watch again because it started my gardening journey both flowers and vegetables and I just want to say Thankyou!

I grew two peonies from root last year and they flowered. One huge pale pink flower on each they looked amazing. Even if they didn’t flower I think their leaves and stems look nice on their own too.

Perfect timing, I have 5 peonies coming up for the first time since I planted them 2 or 3 years ago. Very exciting and your information helped reaffirm what I thought the care is for them. Thanks

You are the cutest, prettiest young lady who knows her flowers,gardening, etc…thanks for sharing all you do🎈

So funny whenever I'm looking for something on plants and Garden Answer pops up, I'm like "yes!!!"

Southeastern Michigan experienced -50 windchill this past winter and my peonies came through like a champ.

Beautiful varieties! Peonies have always been a favorite. I am so thankful to have peonies from my Grandmother & my Mom's peonies & I've left some in each home we have had.

Love them , they were in my wedding bouquet 🥰🥰🥰 just discovered they do well here in Tulsa OK 🥰 mentioned it to my husband and I see he ordered some for me to plant 🥰 it’s a surprise though 🤫😁

I love your channel, I get so many ideas from them. Seeing the plant and bulb varieties in a landscape has really upped my game for choosing plants for my garden. I too live in the high desert, Denver can be a bit of a challenge. Hot and dry with brutal hot sun in the summer, loads of snow and cold dry winters, I have killed so many plants. Hearing your experience has helped so much. Thank you from the roots of my gardening heart.

Wish I could grow peonies in Houston. My grandfather could just smile at them and they would grow and bloom!!🥰

You took me back to my childhood... My mom grew peonies and a gorgeous rose o' sharon with a deep purple throat. I've been planning a memorial to her for a while. Just trying to locate the perfect rose o' sharon. 😊👍💖

I have been following you Laura in various videos. Must say I've learned so much from you. I have seven peony bushes and they are doing well. Have been bringing lots inside to make my floral arrangements to enjoy. Will be splitting some of them so that I have more in my garden. I am from Brampton, Ontario, Canada. Happy summer!

You do NOT need to fertilize. I've had mine for years. They are enormous, beautiful and have never had anything but water and sun. Just for those ppl who are on a budget.

Peonies are my all-time favorite flower in the landscape. I have just ten, but am always on the lookout for more. I love that you can get early, mid and late bloomers to extend the season. That coral one you planted looks very similar to my favorite, 'Paula Faye." And I saw what you did, Laura. I sprinkle my garden with plants named for loved ones to remember them when I wander about it. I once heard from a landscape designer she always places peonies in her designs because even after the blooms are finished they made a nice shrub or hedge.

I inherited my grandmother's peonies. I have transplanted some of them to other areas of the yard, and they are doing very well and multiplying. Your video was very helpful.

My peonies are beautiful and I used the rings to stake them, but the rain always makes them droop. This information is great.

Peonies are my absolute favorite flower! Love this video me can't wait to get more in my garden!!!

Total zone envy here. One of my absolute one of my favorites. So wish I could grow them here in Central Louisiana

Favorite from my childhood ❤️ planted 3 tubors this spring so far only 2 made it. Have others in my garden that have beautiful blooms but no smell so this year looking to plant new ones and aroma is what I am looking for ❤️

Loved this. I didn't know peonies would grow in full sun

Very informative and those rings are nice. Thanks!

very beautiful the blooms are amazing looking I love the color

Your timing is perfect! I just bought two potted peonies, Sara Berhardt and Edulis Superba. And I was wondering how or if I should amend the soil. I also still have a bare root Green Lotus peony that I bought back in March and it's still sitting in my refrigerator drawer! I was afraid I had ruined it, but I'm going to be planting it...just as soon as it stops raining here. There is nothing like a beautiful bouquet of peonies from one's garden, love them.

So beautiful I love peonies 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌺😊🍃

Can't wait for the chicken run makeover update 🤣😂🤣

Love the grid which I have not seen. The rain has beaten mine down so your advice on deadheading is very timely! 🌺

Gorgous Laura. Thanks for this lesson. Just beautiful.

My in-laws lived on our property and planted Peonies! They are still growing on our home farm after over 40 years.

Thanks for the tips. I have a 25ft oval of pink, deep pink, white and 2 purple Peonies. It is packed when in bloom and the smell is fantastic. I don't have hoops but with so many in the oval I don't have as much of a problem with heads falling over. Just some around the outside edge especially during a heavy rain. Funny though I do have a blue Rose of Sharron bush in the center of it all.

I could watch her videos all day. Excellent information and a pleasant disposition.

So true that they are an awesome beginner shrub. I've had mine 20 years.

I’ve always loved the look of peonies but assumed something so pretty would be hard to grow and maintain. Thank you so much for all the information and encouragement. Now I’ve got to find a sunny spot and decide on a variety and color.

Peonies are my favorite!

You are an excellent teacher! I am watching and learning and planning... I wish you could come and make my yard and garden beautiful!!!

I love this flower We have hilly back yard garden i m bit frustrating where i can plant Peonies

Peony, tullips, rose, are my look forward to. Looking forward to see my wild flower annual mix bloom.thank you for sharing!

I am so excited to plant peonies! Thanks for all the tips! 💖😘🌸

I know this is a old one but it is a good one! I just bought my first peonies and they happen to be bulbs and I am planting them today and was so thinkful you had a video for the same thing!!! You give me confidence to do things I probably wouldn't do on my own!!! Thank you!

Gorgeous peonies!! On my list of flowers to grow!

Thanks Laura, I loved the slower pace of this video so I could see you plant each Peony. I will definitely try this plant.

They also dry beautifully. I cut mine at their peak then hang in a cool dark place upside down.

Love Peonies! I have 6, and they have fat buds ready to pop open soon. My favorite though, are my pink Itoh peonies! Stunning.

Thank you for this video! I can't wait to see an update. My garden is not huge, but I will find a spot for some peonies. They're my favorites. Love your videos Laura, you are such an inspiration!

I don't think they grow in South Georgia, but I have come to love them. Really like the cages for them. Can think of a few other plants that can benefit from them.

Planters looks awesome with your choice of plants.

I love peonies! My grandma had them on either side of her front steps and they smelled sooo good! Thanks for the great tips! I never even thought of steaking them and the do fall over the first time you get a heavy rain.

I was never a big fan of peonies, but I’ve been rethinking this and am on the lookout for Tree peony’s but they are hard to find. For sure giving peonies a good support is important to help them look their best and stay upright during wind & rain storms.

I love peonies. I wish I could plant some, but alas, I live in zone 9. So envious! 😜

Hi! 💞 I just wanted to say Thank you! Since watching your videos and listening to your tips, my garden has done fabulous! I live in western NY, Rochester area, zone 5 and ALL the plants I planted last year survived!!! Wooo whooo!!! Happy Dance!!! 😊 💗🌷🌼🌺🌻🌸👍💜 Thank you so much!!! 🌷❤🌞

Omg, I had these bushes that popped up in my yard this spring, and I couldn’t figure out what they were for the life of me. After your video, I’m fairly convinced they’re peonies! This is very exciting. Thank you for your videos! They’ve helped this new homeowner quite a bit! :)

Peonies are the Indiana State Flower where I live. Mine grow to nearly 4 feet tall! They are not tree peonies. Absolutely stunning flowers! Mine are about to bloom here in the next week or so! 🌸

This is a very helpful video! We just purchased three new peony plants, so it is timely, as well. I am pleased to learn about the grids. I "inherited" peonies when we moved to this colder climate (in our prior, warmer climate I grew gorgeous roses), so I did not know how to stake them. I knew nothing about peonies, but soon discovered that they are hardy and bloom like crazy, but in contrast to roses, they only bloom once. Hence, we decided to grow more to make up for that. :) You make the process of planting peonies look very doable. Thank you!

I planted peonies in bulbs, but now I don’t think they’ll have enough sun. But they are truly gorgeous. It was my wedding flower ☺️

I have tree peony's growing around a big tree stump in my front yard by the driveway. It looks so beautiful with the roses and irises growing around the garden

Have you done a video that addresses understanding zones? I get that the lower number refers to cold hardiness but I don’t understand the limitation of the higher number. I would love some help understanding zones...

We used to have a Peony plant at our old house. When we sold it and moved here it got transplanted. It grew wonderfully for 25 years. This spring I had to have the area where they grew dug up...we had roots from other bushes in our weeping tiles...which caused a ground water flood in our basement. I forgot to dig up some of the tubers. I guess they were distroyed in the process. My Hosta survived. I'd like to get another Peony plant for the front garden this fall. Thanks for the information about them. Your garden looks beautiful. 👏

I love peonies so much, I used hot pink ones as my bridal bouquet

This is so informational Peonies are my fav I love how they Blum.

I buy a peony every year. Up to four In five years of having my own garden. I have a coral tree peony and wow from a stick to year five, its over 2ft tall. Loads of blooms, I just feed it.

Did you ever take a photo of these peonies this summer? I’m wondering how well they performed. Peonies remind me of my grandma 💛

Peonies are alls so PRETTY i know have total of 5 diffrent kinds 2 i planted back in the fall from bare root there comeing up .my others got plant from pots to the ground hope they all do well .

Everything in your garden us inspiring ! I bought 3 potted peonies from my local Costco this spring: coral, white , red. Beautiful blooms !

They are my favourite flower and luv the smell too- thanx for sharing

Love peonies! Just moved to Virginia, and my mother-in-law sent us some to plant. I'm going to use your helpful tips, thanks!

I looove peonies! I’d love to see an update on how these are doing!

Thank you so much Laura for the helpful tips on peonies, I love them, especially the first type you showed us. I had never seen that flat type of cage before that’s great. Can peonies thrive in a container? Thank you so much.

Thanks for this I love peonies 💖 Great info ❤️

Love peonies, I need to plant more! Thank you for info on peonies, very much appreciated!🙂🌞🌿🌱💗🥰

Such a lovely color of pink. This must be the year of the peonies...seems everyone is growing them. I have always loved peonies but had no idea they were so easy to grow. We may be moving in a few months. Can I grow them in planters until next year? 💚🌸💗

I've always wanted to try my hand at planting peonies. Thanks for this video! You have inspired me! You are such a great communicator too!

Could you make a video with your peonies and how to propagate? I’d love to spread the love 😄

Thanks for this great video. You got me excited to grow these.

Thanks for this video! My mom and I were just talking about planting some peonies but I didn't know very much about them ❤

I love peonies and im going to add some to my garden as soon as I can
