Guest guest Posted August 26, 2004 Report Share Posted August 26, 2004 Peony Particulars Peonies require little maintenance. Removing spent flowers will help the plant conserve energy. In the fall you should clip back the foliage to prevent scale. If winter temperatures will drop below -20F, apply mulch over the crown. Gardeners in warmer climates should remove any mulch applied in the spring and summer. This will allow for better chilling.Failure to BloomIf your peonies don't bloom, it may be the result of:- planting too deeply- immature plants- excess nitrogen- inadequate sunlight- overcrowding- phosphorous or potassium deficiency- insect or disease problems- competition from roots or nearby plants- late freezes Diana Gonzalez Nothing wastes more energy than worrying - the longer a problem is carried, the heavier it gets. Don't take things too seriously - live a life of serenity, not a life of regrets. -Unknown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
