I've been gardening for something like 50 years.  During that period  I've 
planted, grown, and enjoyed Peonies in several locations.  Before I  had a 
garden of my own, I bought them and planted them around my parent's  house.  
 
General consensus is plant in the fall and don't expect bloom the first  
year.  As usual I couldn't resist the Wal-Mart bargains and planted 3 root  
divisions last spring.  In the fall, I planted a selection from Gilbert  Wild.  The 
shocker . . . . Lady Kate, from the fall planting, is way past  the red 
foliage stage and has two buds nearly grown.  Lady Kate is supposed  to be a late 
bloomer.  Will be interesting to see if it blooms true to  color! They've never 
bloomed for me in the first spring.
 
Life never fails to surprise.
