will Bloom Next Spring 
It is important to know that our Peonies are definitely blooming size, and they are 
not to be confused with small divisions which take from two to three years to bloom 
after planting. 
Early planting is also of most importance. It may mean the difference between 
their blooming next year or waiting another year before blooming. Our tip is to 
plant as early in September as possible.
