Re: "Bargain" tree peony

I really can't give you good advice,  since the one I bought earlier this year is my first.  when I purchased it,  it was potted in a 1/2 gal nursery pot  (with the bottom cut out) and that was sitting in a gal. nursery pot.... it looked like a stick,  however in a short while I noticed it was putting on green.  I sat mine in the ground the first day of March and it had one bloom.  I really can't tell that it has grown any, but it's still alive and looks healthy, so I'm gonna keep it and pray.....   I have mine in light shade with a tiny bit of morning sun
there is a picture of the one that I have  at the link below and a lot of information on planting and caring for the plant.

the thing I wanted to tell you is when I was ready to plant it,  the root was growing all the way into the gal container.  I dug a hole about 18 in  wide and deep   and had to dig deeper when I discovered the root was so long.
I must have done something right  "what"  I don't know,  but it's alive for now.    of course that could change anytime........

I say go for it.   for 10.00  you can't go wrong  IMO.
