2017 Transplant Late Blooming Dark Pink Herbaceous Peony

I know it is super late in the season (read: past the season) to transplant peonies. However, I took advantage of the 62° day we had this week (now that the snow and ice has melted) to transplant a peony that looked promising to me last spring. It is a dark pink herbaceous peony, and I had tagged it as "WATCH LATE BLOOMER" at the end of the peony bloom season. It was particularly interesting to me because it was the only peony blooming after all of the other peonies in the bed had finished blooming. That is a valuable peony to have. I am curious to see when and how it blooms next spring. So I moved it from a crowded seedling bed to a less crowded seedling bed. Since I missed getting pictures of the blooms last spring, I will be sure to get some photos of its flowers when it blooms.

  1. Very interesting! Even here in CO some of the late blooming doubles never open for me, gets too hot for them. Was this one a single? I'd think the late bloomers that open would be pretty scarce for your zone, makes that one very interesting indeed!

    1. Liz,

      I can't remember exactly. I'm definitely going to be able to make a better record this year!
