Product descriptionPeonies are perennials and are known to live for decades, even generations. The blooms are outrageously beautiful, producing lush, glossy, green foliage all summer long, turning purplish or gold in the fall, as stately and dignified as any shrub. They are somewhat more expensive to propagate, but well worth the investment in your garden. Sarah Bernhardt - the queen of the peonies - yields large, pure pink, fragrant blooms that have made this variety a great peony choice and a van Zyverden best seller since the beginning.

Be patient and shoots appear
Although the roots arrived a bit dry they have now sprouted and starting to grow. I jumped the gun and complained as looked like nothing happening. This is why I’m doing this review as was unfair to seller. Now after two weeks tiny pink shoots coming through. Be patient with these and if dry give root good soaking. Also be careful not to plant too deep.

Don't buy, they're from China,not Europe,and may not arrive in good condition
This arrived after 8 weeks,all the way from China. The corms were going mouldy in places,green mould present in some places. They were wrapped in some sort of cellophane and looked dead. They were planted immediately in the hope of some resurrection,but nothing has grown...not a shoot out of any of them. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!

Fantastic!
This is after a year, at first they were small with no buds and died back in winter of course. This year has seen real growth and I now have 7 buds waiting to bloom and unfurl.Patience is the key as they will take at least a year to become established. I’m going to buy more this year!

Mouldy rubbish
Very disappointed.They turned up on time but when I took them out for planting 2 out of 3 were mouldy. Not fit for purpose.I managed to plant one but I'm not holding out much hope as there wasnt much on root.Not impressed

You’ve got to know what to do
These have been delivered. There are no instructions at all. I presume I keep them in the garage until autumn as I don’t think now is the time to plant them. I am expecting beautiful plants and blooms to grow.

nice
Arrived promptly in good condition, I planted immediately and all 3 grew nicely. I was pleasantly surprised to even get a flower on one of them! It's normal to have to wait at least 1 full growing season before flowering.

What you get is NOT what you see in the product image
After a long wait, finally the "Sarah Bernhardt" bloomed. It is a peony, but it is not the big blossom plant advertised. Be warned!

Instructions would be good
No instructions on planting with these but thankfully helpful Amazon customers helped :-) only 2 out of 3 have actually grown so they work out very expensive but those 2 are now groqing well
