      I don't need enemies when I have friends like you two.:dunno::snork: Don't forget to soak the Paeonies in water for half an hour, Joolz, if they've lying around in a packet for a few weeks.:thumbsup::biggrin:

      No, the "sprouty bits" [getting very technical now, aren't we?:heehee:] can stick above ground okay. Just as a matter of interest it's a good method to just drop bulbs and corms into tepid water for half an hour before planting, gives it a better start than going in "dry".:biggrin:

          I plant the fleshy root part of my herbaceous Peonies slightly "proud" of the soil, they seem to respond much better than if it is covered, and I think "overly deep" planting of (herbaceous) Peonies is a cause of failure.

            Should flower this year, but will be better in subsequent years.
