🪻Growing Better Peony as Fragrant Spring Flowers

Episode 987

Ken and Lisa Lain here each week to answer your garden questions! Spring's arrival brings fragrant peonies, a garden favorite.

If you're eager to cultivate these beauties, remember they crave well-draining soil and plenty of sunshine—at least four to five hours daily.

Amend heavy clay soils with ample compost or consider raised beds. Peonies are long-lived perennials, so choose their location wisely.

For those battling deer, rejoice! Peonies are deer-resistant. And if you're looking for a hardy, deer-proof hedge, consider Elaeagnus ciliaris, also known as silverberry. Its dense, evergreen foliage and resilience make it a fantastic choice.

Let's make your garden bloom!
