My plant is new, and the blooms look like Poppysue's first picture. I was a little disappointed they faded to completely cream-white fairly fast. Maybe it will stay colored longer after the plant matures. But it's beautiful when it first opens!

Peonies like to be planted shallowly; the budding tips should only be 2" down. Add bone meal to good soil in the yard; do not add nitrogen or nitrogenous compost.
