Did you buy a potted peony? Is it your intention to grow it as a container plant permanently? A peony grown as a container plant in the sun of Dallas would require a large container indeed, as it would soon fill with roots, and be almost impossible to keep it watered. A peony not in the sun will still grow but will not bloom well, even if you can provide enough winter chill, which is doubtful in Dallas, and impossible in a covered patio in Dallas. Al

Sarah is not a slow grower. All divisions do not get off to a good start and I would not worry about Sarah as she will probably catch up in time. You may have planted too deep for your area, but that would not affect the growing, in most cases, just the blooming, as it affects the amount of winter chilling available to the buds. Al

Most of the full doubles are late season plants. Most years she would not be blooming here until the last weeks of May. In your area probably should bloom some time in June. I don't know how you know she has 12 eyes but if you are removing material to count you can also be damaging those eyes. Some peonies, not SB but others, do not bloom until they are several years old and stable in their environment. In your area unless you have a lot of snow every year the eyes should be about 2 inches below the surface.

A nice bunch of blooms will come in about 3 years, be patient. Depending on where you are, neglect the peonies and they will do nicely. In fact in Illinois, they should perform very well. Sarah Bernhardt is tried and true! Here is a link that might be useful: About Peonies

WOW. I am just getting into these, though my mom has loved them for years. Is this the shrub type? I think I prefer them because the tree types I have do not get many flowers, maybe two if I am lucky, and the tree itself is not very attractive. They were here when I moved in so I need to learn how to care for them.

As for the bush types, I have 3, 2 white and one light pink. They are blooming now, and I have so many flowers that I have them all over the house and can still enjoy them outside! I love the shade of pink on your plant, do you mind sharing where you got it?
