Last fall I took a bunch of peony roots and a few irises to our eventual retirement location in AL. Jeff (hubby) and I cleared brambles and scrub oak from a small area and planted everything then just let Mother Nature have her way with them. Didn't go back until 2 weeks ago, here's what we found when we visited again!
Abalone Pearl, Aerie and Amberglow

Athena, British Beauty and Candy Heart

Cherry Luau, Cherry Pie (tree) and Denise

Ethel Mars, Festiva Maxima and Heidi

Kelway's Rosemary, Lois Klehm and Magical Mystery Tour

May Apple, Mme Jules Dessert and P Off Alba Plena

Postillion, Roseheart and Roselette

Shimanishiki (tree) and Sweet Marjorie
Some were just barely above ground but all were visible, maybe not every one can be seen in it's photo, though! The only ones that hadn't broken ground were Topeka Statue, Cavatina, Garden Treasure and a scarlet NOID, hope they'll make it up as well but I probably won't see it.
