This month on Down the Garden Path, we’re talking all about perennials! From caring for your perennials and new perennials for 2020 to peonies and ornamental grasses, this month we’ll have you growing back for more. On this week's show, we continue our month-long perennial discussion with a trip into the world of peonies.
