Question from
susie
I have a paeony Sarah Bernhardt with a problem: last year- and this- its leaves didn't open properly, but just stayed rolled up. There are no signs of mould/ blotchy patches. The flower buds didn't develop either. The one next door is fine, oddly. They are in a semi- shady position, not excessively dry/wet , which should be OK for a lactiflora.This isn't in the list of standard paeony diseases/ problems- can anyone help, please?

Question from
Anna
I have a bare root of this plant which is just starting to shoot. I am wondering if it is the right time to plant it? Would it have any chance in a container?
