    Mine arrived too and they look great :j

    The one that was delivered a couple of weeks ago is shooting away and looks really promising.

    I've just been told that the tree peony I bought as a gift for someone last year is in bud now. Fantastic!

    I note that the offer has now closed so I hope that everyone who wanted one has already ordered.
    My first reply was witty and intellectual but I lost it so you got this one instead :D

    Planted mine this afternoon dont really have much room for one but I like a bargain and I like these. Had to move some plants out of way as the place I wanted to home the peony was to near the house and soil is shallow

    Mine too, thanks op.

    On a similar line to above. What inthe root system like on these, how near the house can they be planted before the roots "may" cause damage to the building?

    Or are the roots not that "agressive"?

    Thanks

    Not sure Reggie main reason I moved its home where I had made room for it until it came was because 1. they can reach 6 feet when mature so always think ahead and is close to the house/kitchen window and 2. the soil is shallow in the bed I want and a small wall made of stone is very close by also a drain runs under soil and is only around 6" from the surface

    Thanks savemoney,

    I've taken the risk and planted about 2.5feet from the building, I intended to keep them cropped, as there is a specific space I want them to fill.

    I guess if I feel ambitious in a few years I can dig them up and divide them.

    (like the videos on you tube)

    Hark at me.... Sounding like a gardener... I'm not just want to learn how... Lol
