My first one to flower is literally the most unexpected. I had bought several a few years back and I had a lot of root pieces left in the box. I dumped them in a corner of the chicken garden. They were doing super well and now the first to flower if from this “leftover bits” planting. Lol
Lesson here is plant every single piece!
Oh do! They are really easy and literally don’t do anything for them here. They also get really really old. 30 years easy but I also have heard stories of 70 year old peonies!
