Glad to see I can use sticks and strings because I really don’t want to deal with rings for my new peonies 😂 I’m a “lazy but wanna be gardener” I love low maintenance flowers/plants that come back every year- I feel like I’m wasting my money with annuals. Still new and love watching plants emerge from the ground/pots
Robert that was a great video. Really good information. Going to use the stick and jute method of supporting peonies. Looking forward to the video on clematis. Thanks for sharing the beautiful photographs of your peonies.
I am going to try this. Thank you for the tips!
Hi from the Dolomites in Italy, you have a lot of Peony...beautiful all of them,the Fern one I never see 🌿🌷🌷🌷🌿 many compliments
The peony that you love is actually my favorite in my garden, too. Yours looks exactly like my "Seashell" herbaceous peony, an oldie but dependable goodie.
That could be it - thanks.
I use short forked branches, which I've pruned off of my trees and shrubs, to stake my peonies. All I do is push them into the ground wherever support is needed. They are excellent support for lots of different flower heads that otherwise tend to flop. I love using red or yellow twig dogwood branches because they add color interest. Robert, have you ever done this? ~Margie
No - too much work for my 6 acre garden.
Purchased two Itoh peony plants this spring but after watching Paul’s video, me thinks I’ve got them planted too close together (maybe one foot apart) so next spring i will separate them.
As far as staking plants goes, my experience to date is only with sunflowers in pots, but the method I use may be transferable to peonies too, so here ya go …
I purchase 8’ drywall corner beads (the are cheap) and cut then into 4’ lengths afterwhich i spray paint the the top three feet a dark green so as to blend in with the plant. The bottom one foot unpainted section is what i stick into the ground. As you may be aware, the beads are perforated with holes along the entire length and the holes are about three cm apart which provides unlimited locations to fasten green-coloured craft wire to help support the stem and branches.
Phew, betcha thought this tidbit of useless information was never gonna end! 🤣
I use the post and twine and I've also used leftover wood stakes to which I have stapled green plastic mesh fencing to the top. It is somewhat like your red mesh peony hoop however you're not restricted to that size and the mesh fencing is cheap.
Thank you for the useful information. My peonies (herbacious, not tree), get 5 ft. tall. I've used the big tomato rings, but the plant just pulls them over in any wind. I'll have to get tall stakes and tie them up at multiple levels, as they grow.
I have two beautiful double white peonies that are about 15 years old. Could never find the right support system for them Thanks Robert will definitely set up the string and post for them!
Great info! Thank you!
You are so helpful. And I love watching you because you remind me of my Dad. He was a great gardener too. Thank you!
Do i look that old? Just kidding :)
Garden Fundamentals lol...you look great. I was remembering my dad when he was a young man like you:)
I got my first ever peony last summer and immediately purchased a "grow thru" type support about 2 feet tall. It stood about 18 inches above the ground. Apparently, the support wasn't tall enough because the plant grew up well over 3 feet tall and immediately started to lean over as the buds got ready to bloom. Once the first heavy shower came, everything bent right down practically to the ground. I believe in real good earth preparation so I usually get good first years growth on most perennials I've bought. I outdid myself this time!! I never had a plant get so big the first year I had it. The blooming is over now and deadheaded it. I still have a real handsome bush to enjoy for the rest of season. My suggestion is to get the tallest support you can get. Im gonna try to find ones well over 3 feet tall. The 24 inch one was a bust.
Thanks many helping tips
Thank you for the tour of your wonderful peonies
The practical rod and twine method seems the best for my jumbo headed peonies.
Thank you for taking the time to share great options for holding them up.
When they fall over their beauty is wasted.
Great video! I've been using the good ole bamboo stakes and garden twine method. No muss, no fuss, works just fine and very adaptable:) You have a 6 acre garden, that's incredible! That's a lot of garden but it's probably just gorgeous! You'd need to at least be "close" to retirement to have that much responsibility:) lol
I often use 2 or 3 rings to support the large clumps. It's not efficient but they give proper support. I like your string and stake idea. I transplanted 2 clumps 2 years ago. One is flowering already (even last year), but not the other one. I wonder if I planted the non-flowering one too deep. Should I try digging it up to raise the crown? If so, when is the best time to do so, now or later in the fall? Thank you for this timely video.
I'd the depth of the root system, and compare it to the one that flowered. It is probably just take a year off.
Best time to replant is in fall.
I use V shape bamboo trellis, about 3ft. high, tie the stalks with the jute circle, works great
I bought those red ones and I absolutely hate it
