5. Warmer Areas Utilize Shade
Peonies are one of the few flowers which will thrive both in hotter and colder climates as long as they’re growing in the best possible conditions for the type you’ve chosen. If you live in colder areas, you want to make sure that you keep them guarded against frost – and if you live in warmer areas, you can use shade to great effect in order to achieve the best benefits of the plant.
If you’ve accidentally planted your peonies in the wrong spot and they’re getting access to more sun than the plant would like for anyone living in hotter climates, there’s no reason to have to move the plant – for this, all you have to do is put up some shade-netting to keep the plant out of the harsh sun.
Another way to cope if you notice that a plant in your garden is in need of shade is by planting other things around it instead – but you can risk too much shade this way, which can have the opposite effect of what you’re hoping for.
