I don't know about these. I grow them in containers so I can give them more TLC. In the fall, I let them dry out and store them in the garage, without digging them out of the container. In late winter, I bring them back out, water, and they come back very nicely.<br /><br />Interestingly, dahlias survive the winter here in-ground. Or some do. Some don't. We have dahlias that came back even after the coldest winter in local history.<br /><br />The peonies survive the winter in-ground. There are even peonies that survive the midwest winters.<br /><br />I don't know how peonies would do in your area. They might need a cold winter.<br />Daniel Wachenheimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11009166706587141830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29834831.post-15821557424803393462015-06-10T10:41:56.847-07:002015-06-10T10:41:56.847-07:00Your different color calla lily is really nice.

I have a question about peony; do you have to dig out the root to store them like dahlias in winter or leave them in the ground. And for my zone in CA, do you think they will even flower? I have only seen some in the park and they are not very thrifty. No one that I know have them here in the city. lancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03657961543274999017noreply@blogger.com
