Tree peony

My friend has a yellow one in a mixed border, that one flowers ok 

Mine is in a mixed border too,and produces one huge flower a year. Its only been in for two years so I am hoping for two flowers next year

I have a gorgeous yellow one that's mixed in with other plants. It was supposed to be just temporary but 8 years later it's still there, in the shade, and every year there are progressively more flowers.

I do deadhead them after flowering, just like regular peonies, and give it water if the weather has been dry. Other than that, it's a no care plant. Just be sure it's where you want as it won't move well and will spread a bit in width as it matures over the years.

It must be - my neighbour who is not too obsessive about plant care  has 2 and they are both big healthy plants about 8' tall and 4' or so across, although as you may have guessed they've never been pruned! 

This is a double pink one, but fairly established 

I'm collecting reduced stuff from work to revamp the bed this autumn, so can give it some space.  So far collected this, 3 painted sages and a hyssop.  The sage and hyssop are 9cm pots from herb bench reduced to 50p, so going to pot those up and grow them on 

I know    I'm really lucky 

It's funny, my friend has seedlings from her tree, but I could never get any seedlings to transplant, or seeds to germinate ........... they must just like it where they are
