Most vendors sell peony roots for Fall planting. I have purchased most of my peonies bare root. The size of the roots vary per vendor.
Most of the peony vendors (that I have done business with) have not updated their catalogs for the 2015 season... Makes sense, shipping is over 6 months away.
However, some are now selling potted plants that you can plant anytime.
And, some of the potted plants are tissue culture. For example, I purchased 'First Arrival' 3 years ago and it has yet to produce a bloom. Plant looks 24 inch good, just no blooms.
Pot vs root! Any opinions? Any first hand experiences? Any advice?
As a side note, on the deals thread, Longfield Gardens has 20% off of their peony bulbs. Interesting that any peony vendor would sell peony BULBS
I am glad Winter is almost over...
