I just read info from Cricket Hill that said to plant Itohs so the eyes are around 4" below ground level. I've planted mine much more shallow, to include 2 Bartzellas that are barely hanging on. I plan to dig mine up and plant deeper this fall. Anyone else out there have experience?

lizbest, that is good to know, i'm going to look up Cricket Hill.

I'm so sorry, I got the sites mixed up. The info was from Solaris Farms. Here's the link that was posted to get to Solaris Farm's peony information, I found it very interesting and informative. It was posted on another peony forum by another member. Solaris Farms info

I'm wondering how your utihuutihu peony is

Hello Hello, how did you planted your itoh peony? how does it looking now?

I bought mine first Itoh as well, though it was potted already, so i just planted it to match the pot to the soil level, not sure if it can make it during my Edmonton weather, lol
