My mature tree peony is growing bud shoots from the root stock (I am guessing). The "unwanted" shoots are taking over the plant in height and number of shoots. Is there a proper way of bringing back only the tree peony? I feel the "unwanted" shoots sap the basic plant of growing strength and should be cut off as soon as they are identifiable. Is this true or is there something else I should be doing?
Thanks!!!
Mature Tree Peony growing shoots from reg. bush peony?
Yes you are correct.
The tree peony was grafted on to rootstock of a bush peony and now it's taking over. You need to cut out the unwanted pieces that are growing from the base or it will over take your tree peony.

Are peony leaves bad for cats?
We have peonies planted outside our house my cat keeps trying to eat the leaves. Is it will it make him sick or can I just let him eat them?

Plants Poisonous to Cats
this web sight says peony is poisonous to cats..
Reply:it depends if the cat is allergic to it or not. if not, then peony leaves are good for it. if it is allergic to peonies, then they are horrible for your cat.
Reply:I'd watch the behavior of your cat if he/she does ingest peony leaves. They aren't supposed to be good for cats. Grasses are eaten sometimes to purposefully make the cat sick so they can throw up -_-;;
Reply:let him eat.

Brown spots on my peony leaves?
I am getting molted brown spots on the leaves of my newly planted peonies. They were planted in May and I live in Pittsburgh, PA zone 5. Do I need to Seven them? They are on the eastern side of my house and so they get sun until mid afternoon
Brown spots on my peony leaves?
The most frequently occurring pests are botrytis blight and leaf blotch, both fungal diseases. Especially prevalent during wet springs, botrytis affects leaves, stems and flowers. Spots appear on leaves, stems soften and decay and flowers either rot or buds blacken and fail to open. Prompt removal of infected material and a thorough fall cleanup are essential for control.
Leaf blotch develops during warm, moist weather. Glossy, dark purple spots form on the upper surfaces of leaves. Again, removal of infected leaves and good fall cleanup are necessary for control. Avoid overhead irrigation.
Other fungal diseases include Phytophthora blight and Verticillium wilt. These are soil-borne fungi with no cure other than destroying infected plants. Do not replant in diseased soil.
Peonies really need a full sun location. The east side of your home may not provide sufficient light for peonies. Further, humidity promotes fungal growth. Northern and, to a lesser degree, eastern exposures tend to be more humid than a southern or western exposure. Consider moving your Peonies to prevent future infections. Cut back foliage in fall and burn or discard to prevent overwintering fungal spores.
Sevin is an insecticide and will not control a fungal infection. Fungicides are preventative and can not cure a fungal infection once your peonies show the signs of an infection.

Has anyone ever heard that peony flowers or bushes attract snakes?
No. Do you have snakes crawling around your peonies?

It's common for beautiful and fragrant plants to seemingly attract snakes. It's very uncommon for plain mundane plants to do so. With the Peony you bend to sniff and admire, putting your eyes closer to a snakes level. RScott
Reply:No, but the buds seem to attract their fair share of ants.

Help with finding some bathroom accesories? Peony?
My friend is having a house warming shower and she said that she wants to do her bathroom in peony, but I can't find that design/pattern anywhere. She said it was on the tumbler, soap dish, toothbrush holder, shower curtain, etc... Help??
Help with finding some bathroom accesories? Peony?
Buy the stuff that goes into these holders and package it in a small woven reed basket or something similar. This way you do not need to follow the design!
Reply:Just go find a beautiful silk potted peony plant that she could sit on the back of the toilet or on a shelf or something. That would be nice.
Reply:Can you ask her where she saw these?

Why won't my peony bulb grow?
I bought a peony bulb and planted it a few weeks ago. I had to dig it up to make room for a rose bush. I was going to transplant it, but when I dug it up I saw that it was not growing at all. What is wrong?
Why won't my peony bulb grow?
you just bought it. be patient!!!!
Reply:You need to let us know what growing zone where your are in. One of the reasons it may not be growing is it is still early in the season where you live. Transplant it anyway and see what happens. If it grew before it should again.
Reply:Make sure to plant the top of the roots only one and one-half to two inches beneath the soil line. A common error is to plant them too deep, which means they won't bloom.
