My peony came healthy looking and I planted it right away and it has taken off. I thought I even saw a bud forming the other day.

Was a little leary at first cuz I thought I was planting what looked like a stick was a joke. So far, my Itoh Peony has 10 inch growth and one lil bud that never opened. The plant itself ( foliage) is beautiful.

Received a very healthy, multi-eyed cutting. Well packed, received in a timely manner. Very pleased with my purchase.
