I am wondering, I transplanted my peonies from my Grandma's almost 15 years ago. Have no problems with them. First of all, my question is, Grandma had several different colors, I only ended up with the Deep dark Pink ones. I was sure I had some of every color. Is it possible that where I planted them, they have gone back to an original color, like tulips do? Also, I keep noticing that you keep telling everyone that they need full sun. Mine have bloomed so much better after the trees grew up and shaded them. The do get the morning East sun. They are surrounded by Ponderosa Trees and Mullberry trees. They are completely covered in pint needles, year around because, smart me, I put rock down years ago and I can manage to rake the needles. I am assuming the needles are supplying some type of nutrient for them.
