Seems to make no difference whether it gets full sun or some shade. Next time you get up in the fall, let's divide you a clump; it's pretty pricey if you try to buy it.

The foliage is particularly nice, since I'm always on the lookout for foliage that departs from the standard "medium" texture of so many of the prairie plants. How long have you had it? Is it as hardy as other peonies here in Kansas?<br /><br />As I watch our shepherds sniff trails in the grass or otherwise investigate things with their noses, I've wondered about what I'm missing, too. Too bad there isn't some sort of "glasses for the nose" equivalent that would let us at least approximate their olfactory sensitivity! <br />Gaia Gardener:https://www.blogger.com/profile/00692281131036600613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2891478286629018612.post-40204509798846440662014-04-24T11:15:33.467-05:002014-04-24T11:15:33.467-05:00Greening indeed.

Things are lovely here in my part of zone 8. Glad to see someone else's dog sniffs the flowers...mine does the same. I thought our old fella doing it was just a case of the dog taking on the owner's personality. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
