Re: Peonies
One thing that also helps peonies is to see that they get good feedings
of fertilizer with lots of phosphate and potassium. It won't help with
this years so much but put it on early in the season just as the buds
are emerging from the ground. Nitrogen is good too but not too much. the
ph and po will help with stem, root and flowers.
Big bomb types may still need a little help. Semi-doubles, singles and
japs seldom flop.
