I have bought peonies from Adelman's and always been pleased. but I was looking at another site, D'Aoust, and in one of her articles she commented "A good division will have a good balance between crown material and tuberous roots. A large hunk of crown covered with buds but with just one tuberous root is going to have a tough time growing." And that rather describes the tubers I get from Adelman's, for the most part. All I can figure is that perhaps it is way of having more to go around rather than selling clumps. Reath's always sends clumps or at least what appears to be clumps. 'Tis a puzzlement. Comments.
From -60 Alaska to +100 Virginia. Wahoo
