Thanks for your teaching how to start the tree peony.
The white peony you show on this page is a tree peony you should explain the difference to your readers. There is a difference, although the one you planted does look herbacious, tree peonies have Woody stems with eyes/buds on them.
Wish I watched this video yesterday when I planted two Itoh peonies. The soil in my area is slightly acidic. It appears that I need to add some lime now. sigh...

Hello Joanne, no they will not come up until spring. Give them a little water over any dry periods, and if needed add a little top dressing of lime to the soil. Although you will not see any above ground growth, the root system will still be growing.

@@joanneshepard5449 Florida is too warm for peonies its a bit of luck needed to grow them there. A good rule of thumb when planting perennials, is it a plant you find in your area or not.

Horse manure tends to be very weedy, so we do not use it. If you hot compost it first, most of the wed seeds should be removed. Compost is fine, and remember that they do like lime.

You can, however horse manure can have a lot of weeds in it.
Don't have any cows in South Philly. Would dog shit do the same?
