The Gardener's Notepad
A particularly lovely type of Peony that has been in cultivation for centuries and is still admired by gardeners today. Good sunlight and air movement around the plant are very helpful in avoiding mildew, which can be a problem. As a rule, Peonies are very long lived and only get better with time, and this is no exception. Choose a place where they will not need to be moved, and avoid crowding them out with other plants. Pairs well with other perennials and with natural stone.
