I only started buying some named Peonies a couple of years ago, with an order from Klehm's, Flame, Coral Charm, and Do Tell, and the same year picked up potted Bartzella and Pink Hawaiian Coral from 2 different Lowe's stores. Of the 3 bare root plants, only Flame bloomed the first year, and was a bit stunted. Both potted plants bloomed nicely, PHC was short, but the bloom quality was good, and Bartzella reached full height with 2 well formed blooms.
