Gardeners’ Forum: “Kinshi tree peony”

Posted by Lara on Friday, July 13, 2007 11:10 pm ADTThis spring I planted a bare-root Kinshi tree peony (from Vesey's). It looks quite healthy, but has only grown about 12 inches - final height is supposed to be 4-5 feet. Is this amount of growth normal for the first spring? I think I planted according to instructions for depth. Thanks.

Posted by brenda on Sunday, July 22, 2007 2:59 pm ADTIt is true that tree peonies take several years to produce blooms. I have one (from veseys) that is 5-7 years old. This year it is 4 feet tall and wide, it put on such a show that people were stopping by the side of the road to look at it. I have been so impressed with tree peonies that I now own over 10. I wait with anticipation every spring for their blooms. Enjoy!!
