I tried growing peonies in filtered shade 5 years ago, and they never blomed. I was told they couldn't handle direct sun this far south. I was amazed to see my sister in law successfully growing them in full sun last spring. Back in March, I moved my peonies to sunnier locations, and they should be blooming any day now. Lowes is marketing them like crazy, and I've bought several new cultivars. Pink Sorbet is really pretty and so fragrant. if I had to choose between growing peonies or curcuma ginger, I'd definitely go with peonies:-)
