Karen, with help from my friend we got free shipping too
It was hard to choose and I already did not want to buy anything this year... and Sonoma Apricot was not on my top 5 list.... but I just could not miss this sale! Sonoma Apricot looks so pretty on a picture, I hope it's good as a bush too. My friend got Sonoma Welcome, Ballarena de Saval and fernleaf hybrid. Looking forward to seeing her peonies too!
Vanilla Schnapps is a very nice peony but as I read in a few places, prefers warm climate. And I want to stay away from expensive peonies, at least for awhile
I agree it was strange to see it added in the end of the season together with Do Tell ($30 full price!). Maybe they received their order of new roots and wanted to sell some before planting ???
