shallow rooted. I didn't know that. That explains alot. It was one of the first things I planted here. Tiny plant, just stuck it in a small pocket of dirt in the ledge. 
Wondered how it has managed to survive all these years and look healthy. Just need to trim it a couple of times during the season to keep it small and sort of "tree form". Which is a pain because of where its located. 
Peony Sorbet survival 
I found out after the fact (so the usual 
) that Peonies in general don't like to be moved or divided. Found out when I divided mine into 4 plants one year. I thought I killed it. Probably cried. Took a couple of years to look not dead but last year all four bloomed. 
They are putting on growth though and I have moved them to new locations so hopefully they'll bloom next year!?! My more mature ones that I've moved while leaving the root ball intact have done much better and will still bloom the next year. I just moved my Festiva Maximas last fall and they have a bunch of buds! It's the cutting of the tubers that really affects them I think.
Cutting the Peony into 4 pieces is probably what did it. I'm glad it survived my "gardening"
