One important thing that there doesn't seem to be any information about is a simple enough question - how many divisions can you expect from a given peony? It is going to vary with age, soil types, care, and how big a piece you started with. But I find it odd that I can't find a printed number or even a guestimate. I personally am hoping for a 3:1 division rate with 2 year old peonies. So 10-->30-->90 over a 4 year span. Actual peony growers really hold that info close to the vest.

It is just to subjective to growing conditions - I would not expect same number of divisions compare to someone who lives in Portland. I found in some peonies more frequent divisions may give higher number of good-sized roots than waiting for 3 or 4 years. I found Itohs should not be delayed and it is easier to cut when they are young.
