I picked it up at Brooks during their end of year special last month, no real experience with it. This forum doesn't get a lot of traffic this time of year, there is a more active forum at www.garden.org for peonies or, if you're on Facebook, join Peony Growers and Planet Peony. Theresa from Brooks posts as does Harvey from Hidden Springs, Nate from Solaris and occasionally Carol Adelman from Adelman's Peony Paradise. Lots of other growers and the page is very active. The other peony forum has several members who acquired CBH this fall, don't remember if anyone said if they had it in their garden already or not but it's under a thread about Brook's end of season sale....I'm active on both peony forums and all of the Facebook pages and can tell you they're all very welcoming. I'm sure someone there will share their experience with this peony!

Thanks for the heads up about the other peony forums! I'll definitely check them out.
