They bloom in the spring for a very short time, and they smell amazing.
They’re a beautiful symbol of spring.
Although I’m a terrible gardener, I purchased and planted Peony tubers in my backyard about about 5 years ago. It took two years for them to bloom...but now they’ve spread out and they bloom like clockwork.
They must be planted in the fall, they bloom in the spring.
Once they’re established, only thing they require is sun.
They’re easy to care for, but they don’t like to be moved or messed with.
If you provide the right foundation, they are hearty, reliable, consistent and beautiful. They come back every year and get better with age. They’ll live for a very long time. They’re worth the wait. Many metaphors here - in life! LOL
