Peony shooting from bare root
in Plants
Odd question, probably. I planted a number of peony bare roots in the autumn. Somewhere between the storms and the dog, the labels and canes I had inserted have gone and I can't exactly remember where they are!
Does anyone know when I can expect them to start to shoot and show themselves so that I know I'm safe to dig and plant more things?
Thanks you

I would think you'd definitely see signs within the next month.
Many thanks!

Ideally they shouldn't be planted too deep as that affects flowering, and is the most common reason for poor, or non existent, flowers. The usual info is, no lower than about an inch below the existing soil surface for the crown of the plant. It can be tricky when it's a bare root, rather than one that's potted, but generally - as long as you don't bury that 'joint' between the stems and the root system too deep, it should be fine
