Just found this forum recently, it's really helpful.
I bought a tree penoy from a grocery garden center. After reading previous posting, I learned I should dig a deep hole and plant peony at least 8" deep.

But I am confused about how deep I should plant the potted one? I don't know where is the graft union, and since the pot is only 8" tall, I am wondering if the "graft union" is above ground? Please take a look at my pic, is "A" or "B" the 'graft union"?

Thanks in advance,

Joe

Some growers, Rick Rogers, place a band similar to the white one to tell the purchasers how deep to plant the tp. I can't tell if this is what the band is for or does it have a name on it.?

This is an excellent picture to discuss some of the things to look for when purchasing a tp. If you notice the area between the leaves is short. The peony should be a moderate to slow grower. A really slow grower would have less space between the leaves. Alice Harding generally has less than 1/4 to 1/2 inch between. A faster grower might have 3-5 inches beween.

The plant already has two stems If you would plant deeper than the white band and have a fuller plant. I would plant to where both branches are just under the soil.

You have a very nice plant.
