If you want to see the pictures from my favorite individual blooms from week 4, you can find them in my post 2012 Peony Blooms Mid Season - Week 4 . As for my favorite overall performer for the bush as a whole for week 4, there is no contest. It is definitely Peony 'Do Tell'. This peony has a multitude of pink blooms with an interesting pink and white center of tiny wavy petals. It almost looks like a hairdo that Ke$ha would wear! The blooms open on different days.

This peony is Do Tell and opens up to gorgeous little swirls! It’s an early-mid bloomer and mature bushes can easily give you 20 harvestable stems! 

And if you want peonies for even longer, you can also actually extend your peony bloom time by cold storing them: just pick them in marshmallow stage (when the bud is still closed but feels a bit squishy).

No water is needed, just lay them flat and when you’re ready do rehydrate them, retrim the stems and place in wa Floral Cooler, Peonies Season, Flower Farm, Open Up, Plastic Bag, Peonies, Let Me, Canning, Flowers

Kelly Welk on Instagram: "It’s TRUE…don’t tell the peonies we figured out how to get them to bloom all summer long. I’ve even heard some grandmas. Tell me they have saved their peony blooms in their fridge until thanksgiving! I have never been able to wait that long, but I have successfully held them in the fridge for several months.

Here’s how you do it :
- Cut the peony blossom when the bloom head feels like a marshmallow, the petals are just barely starting to open and it’s a little bit squishy
- Take off all of the foliage so that it’s only the stem with the bloom head
- Wrap in a damp paper, towel or newspaper
- then slide that wrapped up into a couple plastic bags from your produce
- the sweet little package in the back of your fridge and when you are ready for your peony to bloom, Julia Rose Itoh Peony, Peony Bouquets, Peony Farm, Itoh Peonies, Peony Garden, Planting Peonies, Growing Peonies, Inside Plants, Grasses Garden
