What is eating the leaves on my peony which is creating scalloped edges?

1 Answer

Answer :

We made chicken wires fences to keep all the flowers standing straight up.  I did not cut off any flowers this year because now I could see them standing straight up from both windows. For now mix 1 or 2 teasp liquid soap from kitchen w 1 qt water and spray after sun goes down.  You might need to do this once a week depending on the rain.  After the plant dies down for the winter put 1 shovel full of cow or horse manure right on top of it.
