706 reactions · 27 shares | **My Take of Growing Peonies in Containers** If you have limited space or (like me) don’t know where to plant peony. You should read this! I bought some new peony varieties without a clear planting plan, so I ended up growing them in plastic containers. This allows me to design my garden while helping the peonies bulk up. After two years of care, here are my tips: 1. **Choose the Right Pot**: Use a container at least 12 inches deep and wide, ideally 18 inches, with drainage. 2. **Soil and Sunlight**: Fill it with rich, well-draining potting mix and place it where it receives at least 6 hours of sunlight. 3. **Watering**: Keep the soil moist but not soggy. Water when the top inch feels dry. 4. **Temperature Watch**: Protect from extreme temperatures below -20°F and prevent overheating in summer (specifically the roots) by grouping with other plants. 5. **Fertilization**: Feed with balanced fertilizer in early spring and after blooming. 6. **Patience**: In the first year, snip the buds to encourage stronger growth for more blooms next year. #peonies #peony #perennial #flowersofinstagram #flowers #cutflowers #homegrown #flowerstagram #cutflowersfrommygarden #gardening #homegrownflowers #homegarden #flowerarrangement #gardening #garden #potted #pottedplants #pottedplant | Panat | Facebook

One mistake I see beginner gardeners making all the time is assuming that all hydrangeas can be treated equally. 🌸 Not the case! ⚠️ Some varieties actually need more sun to bloom, while others prefer more shade. ☀️ Here’s a quick list for you to refer back to when choosing the type of hydrangea that will work best for the sun on your property ⬇️ ☀️ Best for full sun areas: 🌸 Panicle hydrangeas (the most sun tolerant type). Common varieties include limelights, fire light, pinky winky, and quick fire. This is the best type for handling hot sun in the afternoon. 🌤️Best for part sun to part shade: 🌸 Smooth hydrangeas. Common varieties include anabelle, incrediball and invinciball This type typically prefers morning sun with some afternoon shade. ⛅️ Best for mostly shade (although all hydrangeas do need at least a little sun): 🌸 Oakleaf hydrangeas: Common varieties include ruby slippers, alice and snowflake 🌸 Big Leaf / French hydrangeas: Common varieties include endless summer, big daddy, bloomstruck and cityline ✨There is some nuance to this as your growing zone also needs to be factored in. ie. In warmer zones you might need more afternoon shade than others. ☀️ If you need help figuring out how much sun you’re getting in your garden, comment “SUN” and I’ll send you my free step-by-step guide to get you started!☀️ There’s so much more to share and keep learning about when it comes to hydrangeas! What questions do you have or tips can you share about growing them? 🌸 #hydrangeas #hydrangea #hydrangealove #beginnergardener #backyardgardener #homeandgarden #gardeningtips #gardening101 #flowergarden | Wkndgardener | Facebook

I honestly don’t even notice they are gone!😜 We can grow SO many beautiful flowers, dwelling on what we can’t grow won’t get you anywhere! Ranunculus, lisianthus, and roses to name a few flowers that give off a similar vibe. My advice for anyone living in a hot place and needs a peony fix - buy a bunch every spring for your local florist! They have all the peony hookups in May into June 🥰 | John | Facebook
