Peonies n the Garden

Peonies are blooming and what a beautiful statement they make in the garden. My peonies this year out shine every other plant that is blooming early summer.
Now is a great time to find some of those peonies that are offered at the garden centers. If you plant this year you won't see much bloom next year because the plant needs to establish itself in the garden. Being a heavy feeder you will want to fertilize three or four times a season. They are especially needy of potassium, which is essential for stem strength and disease resistence. Nitrogen enhances flower size and quality and phosphorous contributes to flower bud initiation as well.

Your peonies really looks great and beautiful, I can see them in lot of bunches and that's true that as they being heavy feeder, ore fertilizer is required.
