Texas Gardening: Has anyone had luck growing Peonies in South Texas??????????, 1 by SteveIndy

I had several peonies flower last year, but they were mostly ones that had been in the ground a couple of years at least. Seedpicker, like you I planted several of "Doreen" but they came up SO early (December) we had several hard freezes that ruined them. I am eager to see how they do this year, and am glad you gave such a positive report on yours. I has Mons Jules Elie bloom with several flowers last year and Sandra Bernhardt, too - even though the experts say the singles are the best for the south.

I planted this fern peony just this past fall, that I got in a trade here on DG from Maxine up in Wisconsin. It has a bunch of buds on it!
