Peonies
Peonies are one
of the longest
lived perennials, often
surviving for
50 or more
years. Their
large, showy
blossoms are
the highlight of
the garden in late
spring and they also make
excellent cut flowers.
THREE TYPES OFFERED:
Intersectional Peonies,
page 166
Intersectional Peonies
Intersectional peonies prefer the same
culture as garden and tree peonies.
Choose a permanent, sunny or partially
shaded site that is not in competition
with large tree roots and has rich, welldrained but heavy, neutral soil. Though
they grow best in full sun, the flowers last
longer in part shade. They will spend their
first year getting established and will not
be floriferous, but the bud count should
increase each year. Do not cut plants all
the way back in the fall since the lower
part of the stem often carries next year’s
buds. Buds will also come from underground like herbaceous peonies.
Garden Peonies,
pages 166-167
Tree Peonies,
page 168
Garden Peonies
Tree Peonies
Choose a permanent, sunny or
partially shaded site with rich,
well-drained, neutral soil. Protection from afternoon sun and
harsh winds will help to extend
the life of the flowers. Newly
planted peonies (2/3 eye & 3/5
eye) will spend their first year
getting established and will not
be floriferous. However, once
established, their substantial, deep
root system makes them drought
tolerant.
When picking a site for tree peonies,
choose a permanent site that is not in
competition with large tree roots and has
rich, well-drained, neutral soil. Though
the plants will grow best in full sun, the
flowers will last longer in part shade.
Allow plenty of space between plants
since they can grow quite large and live
50 years or more. They will spend their
first year getting established and will
not be floriferous, but the bud count will
increase each year. Do not cut down tree
peonies in the fall since the woody stems
carry next year’s flower buds.

P

unique colors, robust herbaceous foliage, strong
weather resisitant stems, longer bloom time,
extreme winter hardiness, and increased vigor.

Garden Peonies, cont.
P
TAKE AWAY TIP
Top 10 reasons why peonies don’t flower:
1. They are planted too shallow or too deep.
2. They are getting too much nitrogen.
3. They are over or undernourished. Peonies thrive with little care and limited
amounts of fertilizer.
4. The buds were killed by a late frost, disease, or excessive heat. Southern
growers should plant early flowering cultivars.
5. There was not enough light for buds to form.
6. The plants are too young or immature.
7. The clumps are too large or overcrowded.
8. They have been moved or divided too often.
9. The plants were cut back before the foliage turned brown in the fall.
10. The soil is too wet or too dry. Peonies require well-drained soil but also like
to be watered down to the bottom of their roots. Let the soil dry out slightly
between waterings.
Paeonia ‘Karl Rosenfield’ (Double)

Tall Garden
Phlox
CULTURE:
Tall Garden Phlox prefers
a dry start after potting
up, but once the shoots
begin to appear it is very
important to keep plants
consistently moist and
well-fertilized. Overhead
watering should be avoided
and the plants should be
well-spaced to allow for
good air circulation. This
will help to prevent powdery mildew and other
disease issues. Visit
www.WaltersGardens.com
for additional growing
information.

CULTURE
Creeping Phlox is a very
low-growing, groundcover-type species that is showiest when planted on slopes,
among rocks, towards the
front of the border, or along
pathways. Like most
other Phlox, this one
prefers full sun. However, it prefers gritty,
slightly alkaline soil
instead of the fertile, moist
soil favored by other species.
Creeping Phlox
GROWING TIPS
•
•
•
•
•
Use a 7 or 8 inch Mum Pan
or Azalea Pot. Do not use a
standard one gallon container.
Wider pots allow more
root/soil contact.
Water thoroughly after
potting for good root/soil
contact.
Water lightly until new
growth appears.
Grow plants either in a cool
greenhouse (above freezing)
with good light levels and
air circulation or pot plants
about April 1 and place
directly outside under white,
breathable row cover.
Water plants through fabric
as needed. Remove fabric
when flower buds appear. It
may be necessary to cover
plants again in the event of a
late, hard frost.
