Rain-proof peonies
This was the week rain smashed the pale pink ‘Sarah Bernhardt’ peonies, which happens every year in early June. You just know there will be a downpour that will splatter the big double blooms across the lawn.
Peonies and butterflies
On heavily budded peonies without ring supports, remove the two smaller buds on either side of the largest flower buds at the top of each stem.
Some of my favourite peonies
Judith Adam’s current favourite is ‘Jan van Leeuwen’ peony with lemon scent. Get plant supports in place before the peonies send their dark stems upward.
