Save the Date - October 29, 2011 FALL PLANTING PARTY at Peony's Envy
Join Peony's Envy to celebrate the fall planting season.
GARDEN TIPS
- Fall garden prep! October is the time to cut back your herbaceous peonies. Trim the stems down to a few inches above the ground and throw away these leaves to remove any possible molds or diseases from the garden (do not compost). Clean away any leaves or loose matter surrounding the plants. Do not mulch your herbaceous peonies!!!! This will cause them to be too deep and they will not flower in the coming years. For more information on fall care see our peony care page.
- For tree peonies, DO NOT cut them back! Trimming them will cut off the portions that will produce flowers next year. If you wish to trim them to shape them a bit for aesthetic purposes this should be done just after they flower in the spring. For more information on fall care see our tree peony care page.
-Remember: FALL IS THE TIME TO PLANT!!!
NURSERY OPEN!!
-ORDER NOW! VISIT NOW!
Peony's Envy is receiving orders for bare-root peonies. Fall is the ideal time to plant perennials, giving them time to get their roots established before the necessary effort of spring. Our largest selection is available now. We ship nationwide through early march. Order early to reserve your favorite varieties.
PEONY'S ENVY NURSERY OPENS for fall bare-root sales
Peony's Envy, at 34 Autumn Hill Drive, is open from 12-6pm, October 30 - November 20. Our entire selection of tree and herbaceous peonies is available for sale. See our directions page for directions.
