    I, in my zone pushing delerium, decided to try Tree Peonies last year. I was only able to afford three. They didn't do much last year and I thought I had lost them. Yet they've reappeared and seem to have responded nicely to our very wet year this winter. I really need some assistance with successful cultivators of this plant. These are my challenges.

    Location:

    Afternoon shade from a Southern Magnolia in a bed where mulching occurs often. Soil is in great shape, drains well, is loaded with organic matter, and is very 'alive'.

    My Issues...(Well my issues with Paeonia...the rest could take years..lol)

    Irrigation- domestic water is heavily chlorinated
    Super hot summer heat
    No humidity

    Oh yeah, and I don't use synthetics

    Please help!
