Varieties with photos will help you get acquainted with a variety of colors, choose the one that will appeal to you and which you will be proud of. Although it does not bloom for long, admiring glances, especially during flowering, are provided for it.
Of course, it is recommended to choose those peony varieties that are more adapted to your climate, to the weather conditions of your region. Foreign representatives who are imported to us from China or Poland rarely take root and give a positive result on our soil. Russian breeders also do not lag behind and periodically produce worthy hybrids such as Muse, Vorobyovskiy, Hoffmann, Peter the Great. These plants are designed for planting in Russian climatic conditions, they tolerate cold well. Successful experiments have been noticed growing these varieties even in Siberia.

Gardeners reviews on varieties of tree peony
Tree peonies bloom for a relatively short time at the beginning of summer, and the bush is important for the rest of the season. Bushes do not fall apart even with flowers, since the shoots are lignified, and do not require supports, like grassy ones. The difference is especially visible closer to the fall, when grassy shoots already begin to fall, especially along the edges of the bush, and I don’t reach the height of such grassy bushes.

About five years ago, on sale I saw a tree-like peony growing in a pot. The flower itself was 27 cm in size, white and not terry. The petals of a flower in the wind developed like a bride’s veil. Yes, it was this comparison that arose then. While I was staring, they sold it, but I still got yellow and purple that were not blooming. Instead of purple bloomed beetroot, and instead of yellow ... .. and instead of yellow - white - pink, size 27-30 cm .. When it bloomed, I realized that I found my "scarlet flower"! After all, each of us has his own "scarlet flower." The whole week, while it was blooming, I could not work in the country, I sat next to it and ... .. all-yo-yo-yo !!!!

About three weeks ago, a tree of Champion Black Jade was planted. Such a funny one: two sticks stick out in the middle of a flower bed, large buds on the tops of sticks, little leaves began to bloom. My husband, passing by, asked, what kind of a wake-room did I put? I answered him: “You, what! It’s not a wake-up house, but a devoid peony, and it’s a relic plant! ” So the husband now calls him "relict tree."

Two bushes of tree-shaped peonies grow nearby - the Golden Petals cultivar. For the winter, we always cover them with double lutrasil (the author of the post lives in Moscow). One bush came out after last winter perfectly, all the buds were preserved. In another, all the upper flower buds are blackened. So he gave new sprouts with kidneys. The difference in the flowering of the two bushes was a week.

Caring for this garden representative is not at all complicated, as it might seem at first glance, even a beginner grower can grow at least one or two bushes on his plot. The main thing in this matter is to observe the rules of planting and care, as well as be patient - you will definitely need it.
If you already have some experience in growing garden residents, then choose varieties of tree-shaped peonies with different flowering periods and a variety of colors. Thus, one bush will fade, while the second will only begin to enter the flowering phase.
Replacing one color with another (different shades of flowers) always favorably diversifies the color scheme of your garden.
Try it, experiment - and you will succeed!
