Thank you so much!! This was exactly the video I needed and I’ve been searching for. You answered all my questions! I live in upstate NY, only about 4 hours from your beautiful farm - I will have to come visit someday!
Thank you ! i needed this lesson , right on time ! i have the yellow one
Fantastic video! You are inspiring and informative. I live in St. Louis and my moms favorite peony was the Peace peony. She had a beautiful garden and I grow them for her. Thanks for the help!
Thank you, Kelly! This was really helpful!
Hi, Kelly. Learned a lot about peonies. Definitely will add to my list of what to grow for next year. Lucy is soooo cute!
Ahhh you will love your peonies . I’ll tell Lucy you were asking for her . 🌸😊
Your garden assistant Lucy is the best, she is gorgeous! I'm from South Africa this year was my first year planting peonies. Great video, thank you 😊
Hi Kelly! I am watching you from Toronto, Ontario Canada. Thanks for your excellent tips. I have four peonies, they are wonderful and beautiful plants.
It's nice to meet you. Thank you. I planted peonies last fall. I've never had them before. I hope I like them.
Wow I’m learning so much from your videos regarding peonies! Glad the videos popped up as a recommendation. Didn’t know you have to cut back peonies in fall. ❤ from NY
Watching in Wilhelmshaven, Germany. First year trying a herbaceous Peony and am sorelieved after seeing your video. Thanks.
So glad I found your informational videos. ❤ I'm from Midwest in Illinois. My husband and I bought a Victorian home in the country and it has a four acre yard and it's bare of flowering plants. I want to make a garden worthy of the home. I've already started with hydrangeas this fall and will add peonies, dahlias in the spring. It's early November and I don't want to risk losing anything over the winter months.
Bel Air, MD Thanks for the Fall tips!
Thank you Kelly I certainly became more informed of how to care for peonies
Thank you for your kind comment Marcia 🌸😊

Hi from Winston-Salem, NC. Thanks for the peony tips.
Thank you for checking in from Winston-Salem North Carolina 🌸🤗🌎👏👋
Thank you this is really helpful. I planted my bare root peonies in spring this year and have had any blooms yet, but maybe next year. Also I'm planting these in London England 🥰
Also my first year and no blooms, hopefully we get next year.
Nice informative video.
There’s no problem composting those cuttings. The compost pile is a huge well of fungal & bacterial activity that will quickly overwhelm mildew or botrytis.
- Whatever you do, please don’t put them in the landfill waste stream. If you don’t feel at ease composting them them, put them in yard waste pickup and let your municipality do the good work of composting them.
Nice video!
Went out and came back on and I now have sound. Watching from Wisconsin.
Hoping to add some more peonies to my garden. They are the easiest & most beautiful flowers to grow! The only thing is they take a little long to get established and usually don’t give me blooms the first year? Hi sweet Lucy! ❤
Hello from Ohio! Love your dog ❤ Thanks for the advice!
Thank you for the Peony advice my old plant stoped flowering, l am from Manchester United Kingdom ,going to cut them back now.September.

@@KellyLehman Thank you, nice to meet you too 🤗
Coming to you from CT. I have a bartzella Itoh peony that's magnificent and I was deeply concerned about the fungal matter on the leaves last fall. I cut down the peopy (did so in the late summer after the blooms fell) and my peony plant has returned bigger and more beautiful than ever. Crossing fingers that it'll bloom! Thx for your vids....luv the pink golf cart!
Thanks for the tips! I had a crazy bad peony fungal issue too last year . Idid the same thing as you . Fingers crossed we both get beautiful peony blooms this year .🌸🌻
I'm in Shawnee township, Allen county, Ohio. Our area used to be a huge area where peonies were grown.

Hi Kelly, just a great thanks from Australia. I'm wondering what type of fungicide that could be used for peonies incase of mildew and botrytis fungal infection. Thanks again
I'm here from Michigan. I have two peonies that grow big and beautiful! But they developed this white powder fungus this summer. I want to divide them in the fall to spread the beauty to other part of my garden, but i want to get rid of the fungus first.

Nice video. Good reminder to people to toss out all diseased plants. If a compost pile gets extremely hot you might get away composting questionable items but most piles never achieve that so my motto is when in doubt toss it out
Hi Dennis , sounds like great advice . I didn’t realize the hear can help sometimes . I’m with you though in tossing out the diseased peony leaves amd stems especially since it’s cold in so many gardens this time of year 👍 . Thank you for your garden insights 🌸👏
Hi Kelly. Peony question from Reading, Pennsylvania. I have Peonies that were planted by my late grandmother in the late 1940's and they are still going strong. In this video you mentioned mulching around the stems in the fall but not to cover them. Two years ago I started covering all my flowerbeds with leaves in the fall. It did not affect their blooming this year, but wondering if this is something I should not do going forward. Thank you.
Hi Kelly, my name is Carrie and I live in the great state of Indiana, a small town called Brookville. Hardiness zone 5b and 6a. I have a herbaceous peony plant that has been planted since maybe 2001. It is placed in the front of the house about 2 feet away from the structure facing the west. The soil is maybe a clay like substance with some dirt. I was wondering if I need to move it to a lower location to get more air through it and sun? Your channel is so informative and very easy to understand and Lucy makes it that much better!, I LOVE LUCY!, Also, does it matter if I cut it down first then move it or wait til after?

Thank you for checking in from Aurora NY Garry 🌸👍👋🌎🤗
I noticed the fungus or whatever disease was on the stems that you left sticking out of the ground. Do you ever fully cut those stems? Won't the fungus on the stems become a problem. Great video that answered my immediate concerns.
Hi Kelly, I have a very happy and healthy peony which I do very little for apart from a spring and summer fertiliser and ensure good watering in summer once every 2-3 days (a really good drenching). I love them but can you recommend a fragrant variety please? I'm in Yorkshire UK 🇬🇧 X
Thanks so much from Logan Utah! Zone 5

Hi from New Zealand
I am in Knoxville TN and I planted 2 Sarah Bernhardts this summer. They are still very young. I have not had any blooms yet. Should I still cut them back like you did? Thank you!
Nice...👏 Does Bartella require the same way to grow? I would love to have one in my garden.
Great info! I'm going to be trimming my peonies this weekend. I think they my be a little to deep in the ground. They have not been blooming in a few years now. We will see! I am in NJ :)
Good luck! You may want to consider trying to remove some of the soil from the top , Just be super careful you don't scrape off the red eye buds you may see coming off the bare root . These are next years stems and flowers . 🌸😊
Thank you for checking in from New Jersey 🌸😊👍🌍👋
When fall comes I chop them back. The ones out in the yard I just mow them down! Mine are old, kind of cream colored and they smell like perfume!
Thank you so much for sharing! This is my first official fall after planting them in the ground last fall. I’m in MD zone 7A & this was very helpful! I’m hoping for some big blooms next year, as they are my fav flower! 💖

Thanks. Viewing from the PNW. I’m thinking there’s got to be another way to get rid of these mildewed stems and leaves other than passing the problem on by putting them in a plastic, non-compostable garbage bag and sending it to landfill. I get that they shouldn’t go to compost, but the organic matter and the plastic don’t belong in a landfill either. Your thoughts?
Thank you! In Central Valley California. What fall care should we give hydrangeas?
Hey Bethany , awesome hydrangea question . So happy you saw the fall hydrangea care video at the end ( I saw your comment 👍👍👏👏)

Hello Kelly, Columbus Ohio here! My peony bush does have that powdery mold on the leaves. Since it’s September 2021, can I just cut it down and throw the branches away in the trash? Or do I need to wait until November?
Hi, from Memphis. I have peonies I got from the dollar store years ago and I love them. They are also one of my favorite flowers. Only if they stayed in bloom longer. 😢
Agreed, peonies are beautiful 🌸🌸v

Spokane WA zone 6. It's middle October and I appreciated the info on why may leaves ALWAYS get look nasty. Can you give the names of Peony that we would NOT cut back to ground in fall. Thank you!
So you don’t have to dig up peonies and store them! Good to know I have one I got this summer will trim it down. Thank you
Yep . You got it Angela. No digging up just a quick cut down and you are good to go . 🌸😊

Hi Kelly, Dot from Long Island (West Babylon, New York)
I have four peony plants and every year they bloom but the blooms just flop over. I've put rings around the plant as it grows but they flop anyway😕 How do yours stand-up so beautifully?
The stems on my Sarah Bernhardt are pretty sturdy . Maybe it the variety that you have that has a weird stem . Can you try a different peony cage around it or maybe a tomato cage and add some gardeners tape for extra support looped loosely around the stem and secured to side . Good luck 👍
Hi Kelly, I live in beautiful Kingston, Ontario. We're hosting our daughter's wedding at our home in a couple of weeks and I'm tidying my gardens for the event. I'm concerned about my 4 peony plants. It's early August and all 4 plants are not looking very good because they have that dusty mildew and brown spots on them. I never had it so bad and it looks terrible for the wedding! Would it be harmful to the plant if I cut them back this early (August instead of October/november)?? Thank you!
Thanks for the tips, is it too late to plant additional peonies for next year. Zone 5
Hi Collette, it’s best to give them at least six weeks before the ground freezes but I have three peonies I’m putting in the ground zone weekend and I’m done 6b .

Josie in Indianapolis, Indiana. I have about 10 peony bushes in my yard. I just let them die a natural death and in spring I pull the dead dry stems. I used to work with a guy who said the last mowing he does in fall he mows right over his peonies -- and they always come back in spring. Just saying.
What kind of dog is she ❤she is a beauty 😍
Hi Kelly I have peonies and they are beautiful. My question is, went I rake my Autumn leaves, is it ok to put them in the tree trunk or flowers bed to protect them from a bad winter?
Carmen Figueroa/ Bethlehem
Hi Carmen . Excellent question! Yes fall leaves make for a great flower bed mulch here is a some advice from Gardeners on how to use it . I am going to try to make a video explaining these tips . Thank you for the video inspiration.

How to turn fall leaves into fuel for next year's garden
By Kathy LaLiberte
Turn autumn leaves into something special by shredding them with the electric Leaf Mulcher.
The close of the gardening season is always bittersweet. Though there are few more beautiful places on earth than Vermont in the autumn, I just hate saying goodbye to all my plants and trading this lush, green world for one that's cold and white.
But there are also plenty of good things about fall. The weather is cool and the humidity is low. Once we've had our first killing frost, the frantic pace of the harvest season is over. It's time for apples and potatoes, pumpkins and mums. And, it's time to reap the season's most abundant crop: leaves.
The longer I garden, the greater my appreciation for the value of organic matter. And one of the very best sources of organic matter is autumn leaves.
Leaves are packed with trace minerals that trees draw up from deep in the soil. When added to your garden, leaves feed earthworms and beneficial microbes. They lighten heavy soils and help sandy soils retain moisture. They make an attractive mulch in the flower garden. They're a fabulous source of carbon to balance the nitrogen in your compost pile. And they insulate tender plants from cold.
Here are a few easy ways that I've found to put leaves to work in my garden.
Shredded leaves take up much less space.
First, shred up as many of them as you can. I don't have a leaf shredder, though I'm considering purchasing one. Instead, I let the leaves pile up on the lawn and then drive over them a few times with the lawn mower. Shredding one leaf into five or ten smaller pieces does several good things. It increases the surface area, giving microbes many more places to work. It prevents the leaves from packing together into layers that won't let water or air penetrate. And it reduces the volume dramatically.
Once the leaves are shredded, I rake them up. Most of them go into plastic trash bags that get stashed in the barn for next spring when I'll use them as mulch in my perennial gardens. In time, shredded leaves become something called leaf mold, which makes a fabulous mulch. What's more, it does wonders for the soil, and I like the look of it.
As for the rest of the shredded leaves, some get put aside for a month or so to be used for mulching my garlic, tender perennials and roses. The rest get carted over to the vegetable and cutting gardens.
The beds in these two gardens are permanent, so it's easy to focus all my soil-building energy right in the growing zone. As the beds get cleaned out, I cover the soil with a layer of shredded leaves and fork that in a bit. On top goes some granular organic fertilizer and - if I have any - some compost. By spring it's all a crumbly mix that plants would be crazy not to love.
Gather leaves in half the time with these Giant Hands Leaf Collectors
To mulch the asparagus bed, I first cut the fronds down to about 12 inches. The bed gets a good helping of granular fertilizer and is then covered with a 3-inch layer of shredded leaves.
Not all the leaves in my yard get shredded, though if I had the time I'd probably do so. By November, I've usually run out of steam and simply pack the rest of the whole leaves into my compost bin. I add these leaves to the working compost pile throughout the year to balance the food scraps and other materials that are usually high nitrogen. The leaves also keep the pile from getting compacted and soggy.
For me, keeping busy is the best way to fend off the blues, which is how I sometimes feel as winter approaches. Raking and hauling and digging and spreading keep me moving and my gardens just get better and easier to care for every year.
Using Shredded Leaves
If you have an abundant source of leaves in the fall, shred them. Your garden will benefit in a big way. Here how to use them:
* Insulate Tender Plants: A 6-inch blanket of leaves protects tender plants from winter wind and cold. Cover cold-hardy vegetables-such as carrots, kale, leeks and beets-and you'll be able to harvest them all winter.
* Boost Your Compost Pile: Carbon-rich leaves balance high-nitrogen compost ingredients such as fresh grass clippings.
* Improve Your Soil: Mix shredded leaves right into your garden. Next spring, your soil will be teeming with earthworms and other beneficial organisms.
* Make "Leaf Mold": Simply rake the leaves into a big pile. If you shred them, they will decompose faster, but you can still make leaf mold without shredding. After one to three years, fungus will have broken the leaves down to a special compost that smells like a walk through the woods. Leaf mold is high in calcium and magnesium and retains three to five times its weight in water-rivaling peat moss.
Think Before You Shred
* Be careful with some kinds of leaves. Walnut, eucalyptus and camphor laurel leaves contain substances that inhibit plant growth. It's best to compost these leaves before using them in your garden
* Be sure to chop or shred leaves before using them as mulch. Whole leaves can form a mat that water can't penetrate.
* If you add shredded leaves right to the soil, add some slow-release nitrogen fertilizers to help the leaves decompose and to ensure that soil microbes don't use all of the available nitrogen.

@@KellyLehman Thank you Kelly for all that valuable information Im right on it. Have a bless day.
Spokane Wa.
I planted my peonie’s root in May. Seven months will pass, and it will be November.
Should I cut it as close as possible to the ground this November; in fall?
Yes , you can cut it down to the ground in fall . 🌸🌸
Can I plant peonies in pots??
Hi Kelly, I am in South Orange NJ and I have a couple of peonies that did not bloom if they are too deep is it ok to bring a bit closer to the surface?
Sounds like you figured out the peony mystery in your garden . Yep, peonies that are planted deeper than two inches may give you green leaves but no blooms .
Fall is a great time to dig them up and replant them with only two inches of soil on top of the eyes ( the little red nubs sticking out of the bare root ) . Good call flower friend . 😊👍🌸
Thank you for checking in from nearby South Orange New Jersey 🌸😊👍🌍
@@KellyLehman Hi Kelly do you have a video on Iris? My reblooming irises were flowering great but now not so much and I heard may have to lift them too?
