"Rediscovering Peonies"

It's nearly time to start planning for one of spring's most beloved flowers: the peony. Join Lorē Sampson of Rarity Gardens at this online event so you can select the best peonies for fall planting. 

Join Lorē as she shares everything you need to know including peony selection, flower forms, planting, propagating and care. In addition, Lorē will discuss how to use peonies as cut flowers including tips on storing peonies for later use in flower arrangements and competitive shows. 

Bring your questions and get ready to rediscover these incredibly beautiful and majestic landscape aristocrats!

This is a Zoom presentation.  Price is $5 for members; $10 for non-members

HPSO programs are recorded and available for two weeks following the original presentation to all those who register for the programs.
