Lonicera L. Semperviron 'Major Wheeler'

Location

Vines will require an area that will have at least a half day or more direct sunlight. The plant depending on the variety will grow upright six to twelve feet. Although it can only grow as tall as the trellis, arbor or support that you have given it. For example, if your trellis is eight feet tall and the vine you choose grows to twelve feet, it would simply hang over and grow down the other side.

Soil Preparation

Clematis and vines need a moist, well-drained soil. Prepare your hole at least one foot deep and mix 50% peat moss or well-rotted manure. Backfill hole with the amended soil and plant the vines so the top of the root ball is just below the ground level burying the first set of eyes. The plant should be mulched and kept moist, not wet, especially during the first growing season. Fertilize every four weeks during the growing season with a well-balanced liquid fertilizer.

Support

The main stem of the clematis or vines must have a firm support, otherwise damage may occur through wind. As the newly planted vine produces new growth this should be carefully trained and tied into position.

Peony lactiflora 'Bowl of Cream'

Soil and Preparation

Peonies prefer well-draining, humus-rich moist soil. Amend heavy or very sandy soil with compost. Additionally, 1 cup of bonemeal can be used to amend the soil prior to planting. Choose a location in full sun, but one that provides ample growing room along with protection from strong winds.

Planting

Dig a a hole large enough to accommodate the roots and set the root so the eyes face upward. Fill in the hole, making sure to keep the peony's eyes/buds not deeper than 2" below the soil line. Water thoroughly to settle the soil around the roots.

Fertilization During Growing

They do not require fertilization other than a yearly addition of compost unless a soil test shows a deficiency in nutrients.

Cutting Guidelines

Years 1 & 2: Do not cut any blooms.  Dis-budding is recommended to encourage root growth and overall plant development.

Year 3: For 2/3 eye roots - Cut 1/3 of the total blooms; For 3/5 eye roots - Cut 50% of the blooms

Year 4: Cut 70% of the total blooms
