Just a handful of some of our favorite water wise perennials.

Don’t forget to water deeply the first year while they are establishing, but all of these plants are ideal for high altitude, high light, dry environments.

Don’t forget to cover your soil with mulch or plant intensely to retain moisture and help dispel heat.

You can find these plants and more grown for our stores 🧡

Utah was made for growing peonies. 😍

And if you live here, you know how lucky we are to have them in this desert.

If you are having problems with them not blooming, make sure to check that you didn’t plant them deeper than your original potted plant.

Mine are all locally grown by for and stores.

In this reel, I am showing Sarah Bernhard and Alexander Flemming but I also grow Duchess De Nemours, Paula Faye and a few other varieties.

Peonies are one of the few plants where I will pay more for a more established plant.

They can take 3 to 4 years before they start producing like this.

And the good news is, I saw them shipping to stores this week so keep an eye out for them!

Don’t forget to follow along here and for plant tips and current store updates all season long.
