It's that time of year again – peony season is upon us! As these magnificent blooms begin to unfurl, it's the perfect opportunity to ensure they stand tall and proud in your garden. And what better way to support them than with a beautifully crafted peony ring?
Our very own Jonathan in the perennial house has crafted stunning peony rings from natural twigs, showcasing his creativity and skill – make sure you check them out in the Perennial House the next time you visit. If you're curious about his technique or simply seeking inspiration, we invite you to visit and chat with him.
But if you're not feeling particularly crafty, don't worry – we've got you covered! Art's Nursery offers a selection of ready-made peony rings, making it easy to support your blossoms in style.
Why the emphasis on peony rings, you ask? Well, these lavish flowers can become quite heavy as they reach their full size, often causing them to flop over without proper support.
We have an exquisite variety for you to explore. From the classic herbaceous peonies to the towering giants of the tree peony world, we've got something for every garden. Remember, herbaceous peonies thrive in full to mostly sunny conditions with fertile, well-drained soil. Planting depth is key – too deep, and they may withhold their blooms.
Tree peonies, on the other hand, can reach impressive heights of up to seven feet, demanding similar growing conditions but offering a majestic presence with huge flowers in return. And let's not forget about the Itoh peonies – a captivating hybrid that combines the best of both worlds, boasting massive flowers and delicate foliage.
Whether you're a seasoned collector or a novice enthusiast, peonies never fail to captivate with their beauty and grace. Visit Art's Nursery today to discover the magic of peony season and ensure your blooms shine bright all summer long!
