Peony question

I planted 4 peonies last fall (Karl Rosenfield, Sarah Bernhardt, Festiva Maxima, and Sorbet). All of them began sending out beautiful green new growth a few weeks ago. They are now about 12"-18" high. All, that is, except for Karl. He has done nothing. He does have 3 dark pink buds (I guess they are eyes?) that seem to be kind of swollen. Is that just wishful thinking on my part, or has he passed on?

RE: Peony question

If he has 3 dark pink swollen buds, I would think that he should be fine. Might he have been planted a little deeper than the others? or maybe in a location that gets less warmth from the sun?

Update: It's got the tiniest little bit of leafy growth as of yesterday. I guess it was just slow to wake up.
