Oh no! It may look that way now but when the weather is right it may start growing. Is there a reason why you think it maybe dead? I hope that you can revitalize it. I took a look at the Cricket Hill website and I am smitten. It is a gorgeous tree peony. What a beautiful color! When I have a prime spot, I may get this peony someday. I do not know what I am doing wrong either but I have two tree peonies died on me last year. Perhaps my soil is not well drained enough for them. I have two more that are struggling. I have to see how they do this year. If they don't do well, I may have to dig them up and replant them in a better location and amend the hole with sand and rock dust.
