Common Questions
Most go in the ground in spring after the last frost. Keep plants cool until planting and be careful that they do not dry out.
Avoid planting peonies too deep, the top of the crown should be no more than 5 cm (2 in) below the surface. Leave them undisturbed for at least 5 years before lifting and dividing clumps.
Foliage should be cut back in the fall. For new plants, provide a winter mulch of evergreen boughs or salt marsh hay after the ground freezes to help prevent heaving.
Wait until the second year to start harvesting. Asparagus is harvested for 3 to 4 weeks and rhubarb for 6 to 8 weeks. The yield improves year by year.
Astilbe and Dicentra both want shade. Morning sun is fine, but afternoon sun will be too hot.
