2016 Peony Blooms Very Early - Week 1

Since we haven't had any late bud blasting winter weather yet this year, the very early peonies did very well this spring. Peony 'Nova' bloomed for me for the first time ever this year. Peony 'Halcyon' was the second peony to bloom in my garden this year and has definitely been the most impressive. Peony 'Early Scout' is a pretty reliable very early blooming peony that gives you a punch of bright red color early in the season. Tree Peony 'White Phoenix' has also been a reliable bloomer since it first started blooming in my garden, and is growing and increasing nicely. If your peony bloom season hasn't started yet, take a peek at some of these very early blooming peonies. Try to seek them out in the peony catalogs this year to add some early peony color to your garden!

  1. My peonies are just emerging, lovely to see your early blooms! Isn't it nice to have a good bloom season with no late frosts? Makes the effort worthwhile!

      Yes, it is always nice to feel like you get to see all of the blooms in your garden without losing any to the weather! Hope your peonies start to open soon!
