I have to share something wonderful. Four
years ago, I bought a 1-gallon peony plant in the spring. I planted it and
inoculated the roots with mycorrhizal fungi. That fall I moved the plant,
as the place where I put it originally didn't get enough sunlight. The
next spring, the peony sprouted and bore 3 flowers. That was totally
amazing, given I had moved the little plant and that usually peonies take at
least two years to flower after planting. I thought the mycorrhizae might
be the reason.
Last September, Roy Klehm of Song Sparrow Farms
gave me a small 'Silver Dawn Mix' peony root. I inoculated it with
mycorrhizae and planted it in a full-sun location in my perennial garden.
This week, the peony sprouted, and it has four buds on it!! Obviously,
mycorrhizal fungi is the reason for precocious blooming.
