- Q
I ordered two noting lilac iron peonys, and planted them immediately. Both have sprouted, but the two plants have completly different leaves. The description does not state that these are grafted, and when I planted them I did not see any evidence of a graft. So, my question is, are these grafted, two different types or?

is this a tree with flowers that won't droop down onto the ground? do you have it in stock ready for planting?
- Asked by MEIMEI
