My neighbour dug up her old tree peony last fall. The peony has been in her garden for at least 18 years; that is since I moved into the neighbourhood. The tree peony fell into four pieces. The old plant had still the herbaceous root attached.
By the way, I got the smallest piece; not herbaceous roots, only one or two little tree peony roots. I planted it in a really big pot and protected it. The little one has only one leaf bud, but it is alive. Hope it will survive
I took the smallest piece because it has a better chance to survive with me than without any special care in my neighbour's garden. Any suggestions on how to improve its chances of survival?
