    I received my tree peony order today too! I couldn't find the graft mark to gauge where to plant so just planted roots and hope for the best, lol.

    ETA: I've tried a few links and can't get on their website. Anyone else having problems?

    The graft is where the twigs sticking up joins the roots. So plant however deep it says from that mark (can't remember of hand), so the twigs with red eyes are under the soil slightly. Please correct if wrong. My terminology sounds spot on though lol.

    I can get on to the webisite ok?

    "However, most tree peonies offered for sale, especially named cultivars, are grafted on herbaceous peony rootstock. Look for the graft union (visible as a slight bulge) close to the base of stem. When planting, the graft union should be about 15cm (6in) below the soil level. Deep planting encourages the grafted plant to form its own roots, which reduces suckering from the herbaceous rootstock and prevents the rootstock becoming dominant."
