| Hello all,
I have a question/problem concerning the planting time of about 20 peony roots I've ordered from van engelen, white flower farm, and gilbert wild. The problem I have is that at the moment I'm not home in october to plant these roots as I would like, so I've requested delivery in early to mid november, but now I'm worried that I'll be planting them too late in the season. If anyone could share their experiences planting later in the season and how that effected growth, or just comment in general I would really appreciate it. Thanks so much! April |

| I am on the left coast and can only comment. The only problem I can see is a problem digging the holes in soil that may be frozen, here we have only seen pictures. I would prepare the planting area now, and cover it with mulch or leaves to keep it ready to plant when your roots arrive. After planting I would put the cover back till spring. Al |
