I forgot to measure the pot but it looked exactly like graycrna4u's picture. The disadvantage is that you have to wait 2-3 years to get it mature enough to bloom. If I have a choice, I would much prefer to get the plant as a division. You get a mature plant faster that way. But since I cannot get this Berry Garcia as a division in the US, I have to buy it via MB. This year's plant is actually smaller than last year's plants. I think last year's plants might be more mature than this year's, perhaps by a year. I will have to see if I get any flowers from my Lollipop itoh peony this year.
