    Peony Roots - Shirley Temple

    Usually the first year of growing won't produce a ton of blooms, but these have come up and are doing really well. Half of what I have coming up was planted 1.5 years ago and they have multiple shoots with at least 2-3 blooms each. The new babies I planted 6 months ago are producing about 2-3 blooms over all. My only complaint is that my kids trampled a few of them, but there's not much Eden Bros can do about that. :)

    Peonies are happy and healthy can't wait for them to bloom they're about half a foot tall. Took to the soil quickly. Having some issues with sun exposure but they're tough little cookies.

    I received my peony tubers in April and when they arrived I was surprised how how large they were, one with 5 or more eyes. I haven't seen them flower yet, but the tubers were very healthy, fresh and large! I'm excited to see them flower!
