I decided to risk it. I feel like I saw where someone ordered from them a year or 2 ago, and everything turned out right. For the price, as long as it is a peony, I shouldn't be disappointed. I did locate a 50% off coupon, I was going to get a Celebrity peony and another plant as well, which added up to over $40. Funny, the 50% off should have been slightly cheaper, but was a dollar higher because they increased the shipping. I took a closer look at Celebrity peony though, & other photos I saw looked just like a peony I already have, so decided to skip it, so the 50% was perfect.
So good to know your order was good, Christie. Liz, I was going over & over with myself whether to risk it, I do was this peony, but like you say, and I was telling myself, hard to go wrong. I will be upset if it turns out to be something I already have several of like Sarah Bernhart, but if it is an itoh I will be happy.
Thanks for your help, Frank! I don't mind waiting a couple of years for bloom, sure would be nice if it would bloom next year though. I'll be waiting to see what yours does.
