Plants can be purchased in the spring at garden centers and roots will be available in the fall. Peonies should be dug up and separated about every 3-5 years in the fall after cutting the leaves a day or two prior to digging. Peonies can be enjoyed far after Memorial Day. Though the blooms last only a short time on the plant, they can be cut at bud stage and refrigerated for several weeks. Just shake off the ants and put them in the refrigerator and take out the stems you want every few days and put them in water.
Peonies also make wonderful dried flowers.
Be sure to put some peonies in your perennial beds. Grandma will love to see her OLD favorite NEW again. They have 43,000 plants and, in time, will have 101 varieties available. Inc.
