Tree Peony - Charming Garden

A beautiful flower Tracey, a reward indeed, what a good job you took care of it indoors :o)

Thanks Neena - I'm so glad I brought it in too! It was interesting watching it open and close in the warmth of the room, and if I had planted it outside I wouldn't have known about the delicate scent that it has! :o)))

Gorgeous delicate flower Tracey.....scented too what a bonus :o)

It was really amazing! :o)

Your close up shots of the flower are lovely :o)

Really gorgeous Tracey, nice when it goes like this

Build another conservatory over the Tree Peony when you have to plant it outside ! It surely appreciates plenty of
TLC.

I was given two tree Peonies by some lovely friends a few years ago. Mine were just sticks in the ground and theirs were lush and beautiful. I decided they probably didn't like my soil. I lifted them and put them in pot with rich soil. They look great this year......I hope to have a flower next year. You did a great job. ;o)

Fantastic. What a beautiful flower. I wish I had room for one, but they do get rather large I believe. My garden is full.

In the strong winds I have need to wrap mine up for protection .

Maybe these mini -plastic greenhouses could go over small tree ponies and camelias for protection.

Tracy its so beauitful

Hi Tracey ..
such a beautiful flower ! :o)

spectacular! Well done on giving it such care that it's performed as well as this!

Paonies are very hardy, so should stand any amount of bad weather, although the flowers can be damaged

Perfect flowers....I really like this one! and you obviously did the right things with it!!

Thanks everyone. Many years ago a dear friend gave me a beautiful one as a housewarming gift. I think I may have planted it too soon - it was young (like me!) and didn't have a good root sytem and sadly I lost it :o( This is why I've been so careful with this one, and it seems to have paid off! Might just keep it in a larger pot for a little longer...!:D

It's really beautiful, and a lovely colour :o)

How beautiful is that, a good job you did bring it in, you would not have wanted to miss such a pretty flower.

Thanks Hywel and Dottydaisy2 :o)))

very beautifu flower so lovely :)

from jane.

hi there i agree with janeplant :-);-)

Thanks Jane :o) You've just reminded me about this beautiful plant, I think I'd better have a look outside to see how it is...

hope it was ok :-) i might just treat my garden to one of these.

I happy to say that it's in a sheltered spot and is budding already! ;o)

They certainly stole the show at Stone Green at the weekend. You have obviously mastered the art of looking after them Petal.

Hi There Poppy! Glad you've found my Charming Garden. They are well worth buying :o))))

I agree, as you know I don't need any encouragement!!

Have been in the garden to check out my Charming Garden Tree Peony... She has loads of buds this year! :o)))

I have kept my Tree Peony in small greenhouse over winter too and now moved into garden, sheltered spot, but unfortunately for 2nd. year running no flowers, I've top dressed pot as well and tried fruit to ripen what else?

Hi Olmag and welcome to GoY too. I'm not sure what the reason could be for your Tree Peony not to flower.

When I first bought mine I potted it on into a larger pot using a good quality potting compost - I like to give young plants the best start in life...! Last year, when I noticed that it had started to grow, I brought it into the conservatory to keep it in good light with plenty of warmth...:o) After flowering I left it in the same pot and placed it into a very sheltered spot which is also a bit of a sun trap.
Then when I checked it over this Spring, I found that it had produced it's lovely foliage and four flower buds! I would say that it does now seem to be bit potbound... So I'll need to pot it on again when it's finished flowering. Looking at some of the comments that other members have written to me, it looks like these plants like rich soil and it takes time for them to establish.
Hope this helps a little...? You could place this as a question on the Your Questions section. Other members are likely to be more knowledgeable on Tree Peonies than me! ;o)
