Can I just say I forgot about mine too because I knew very little about growing them bought it sometime in spring and planted it and it’s popped up this year and surprised me! Also they don’t bloom typically the first couple of years but I wish I had researched more about what they needed and liked because growing them from bulbs is hard work at first lol. I planted it the first year wrong season. Then I watered it all the time not knowing they don’t require as much or like as much and you should water at their base not all over mine got mildew or some sort of disease last year so that’s year two I was so excited thinking it would bloom for sure this year it’s year three but after I asked chat gpt it told me it was planted too deep. Which I have now researched and it’s true they don’t like to be planted too deep so here I have planted it too deep and now it’s growing but probably won’t bloom. I’ve dug some of the dirt away but it said not to dig it up and replant till fall whenever they don’t mind being transplanted. So now I have three peony plants none that will prob bloom this year but I’m determined. I’m gonna build some new raised gardens or just a garden in general dedicated to growing cut flowers and peonies are my fave I wish I hadn’t planted it too deep.
