HelpMeFind's future is in your hands - Please do not take this unique resource for granted.

Your support of HelpMeFind is urgently needed. HelpMeFind, like all websites, needs funding to survive. We have set a premium-membership yearly subscription amount as low as possible to make user-community funding viable.

We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.

Yearly membership is only $2.00 per month and adds a host of additional features, and numerous planned enhancements, to take full advantage of the power and convenience of HelpMeFind. Click here to start your premium membership..

We of course also welcome donations of any amount. Click here to make a donation. Donations of $24 or more receive a thank-you gift of a 1-year premium membership.

As far as we have come, we feel HelpMeFind is still in its infancy. With your support we have so much more to accomplish.

Lady Alexandra Duff is a very vigorous grower in my zone 7a garden. My soil is heavy clay, but has been amended over the years. I planted this peony and 3 others in spring of 2020. I was told not to expect blooms for two years, but I got a very modest flush of blooms a month after planting the root in the ground. Last year, the foliage was much larger and I had over 20 blooms-not bad for such a young plant. The sent is lovely, and the foliage stayed nice and lush until it died back in the late fall. I know I’m supposed to pinch off the side bugs for larger blooms, but I just can’t bring myself to do that.

I live in coastal South Carolina, with very hot and humid summers. I have tried several Peonies with no success. I am a Master Gardner and know how to plant them etc. Are there any varieties hardy to zone 9? Or any suggestions?
