1.	What does "Printer Friendly" mean?	Pages with this picture are printer friendly. On this site, that means only the page content is printed with a white background. Navagation buttons are not printed, saving you time and money. If the page is printer friendly, the picture will be found to the right of the page title. Use your printer icon on your browzer to print, like you always do.
2.	Why do we ship peonies in the fall?	Peonies planted in spring, sometimes fail because the root development does not keep pace with plant growth. Even if they don't fail, they don't do as well the following spring as the fall planted divisions. This is because the fall planted divisions have had several weeks of growing time to develop new roots. This is particularly important if the spring is hot and dry. Click on image to enlarge. This picture shows the "eyes" of a typical peony root. They are shown the left side and are white, pink or red buds near the top of the root. This shows that your peony is alive and ready to grow for you next spring! To mark the top of the plant, we put a cable tie on root to show which end goes up. (not shown) The ruler is shown for reference.
