  7. I just have regular peonies. Did you know you can pick them in hard bud, roll in newspaper and keep horizontally in the refrigerator for months? Learned this at the Richmond Home Show!

  8. Tree Peonies are an aristocrat in the garden. Most all of my customers love Peonies and it is surprising how many have never been introduced to this one. Maybe because they are expensive? I am pretty much always a hero after planting a few.

  15. i've too have regular peonies in my yard. i kind of enjoy knowing that i have to help them out with the ants.

    i'm intrigued by pat's suggestion about refrigerating the hard buds. when would they open?
