Q: What's the best way to handle peony problems like blackened buds after frost?
Likely frost damage rather than disease; avoid disturbing the plant and consider removing the flowering stalks if necessary, and ensure not to over-mulch around the crown to prevent further issues.

Q: Tell me about pampas grass and why yours is thriving in such a sunny spot.
