    Can these peonies grow in large pots or do they need to be in the ground?

    ( The postman said ''I think its a tree & it might grow on you!!! lol )

    Very happy with it - Extremely healthy looking - The Peony , not the postman!!
  • Mine arrived today also... it does look strong, off to plant it now. Thanks again OP
  • For anyone interested in ordering today, the 99p tree peonys are out of stock.

    Received my Tree Peonies too. I think size of pot would depend on how big you want it to grow. One is now in a medium pot by the front door, the other two are going into the garden shortly. Although having read above I may try one in the conservatory.

    Now for the Orchids...

    I've planted mine in the garden - am i supposed to cover the whole plant in soil? OH says yes as the grafted bit is at the top? It looks silly now as i've had to pile a little bit of soil on the top as i couldn't dig my hole deep enough! Sorry if it's a silly question.

    Read the leaflet ;) Think it said that the soil needs to come an inch above the grafted bit
