      Do they fall or remain erect?
      ByMay 23, 2026
      1 Answer | 
      Answer This Question

      Bartzella Peony generally remains erect and does not typically fall over, thanks to its strong stems and sturdy growth habit.

        I received my plant and it has a bunch of dark spots on the leaves and leaf curl. It looks like some sort of blight.

        Thank you for your question. Sarah Bernhardt Peony is widely regarded as deer resistant, but it is not truly deer proof.

          I want to buy this peony, but I’m looking for a plant not a rhizome. I live in zone 5a and my last day for frost is 4/24, about a week away. The header says it's a "live shrub", but the description says it's a rhizome in a 2 gal. pot. Which is it?

          I live in zone 8. The area I want to plant a Bartzella peony will get sun from noon until evening... afternoon sun in other words. Will this peony grow well in this area? I see herbaceous peonies will struggle in the heat, but will an Itoh be alright?

          The plants arrived looking healthy and there were no problems with the delivery. I can’t wait until they bloom so I can appreciate the beauty of these flowers! If these do well, I’ll probably order a few more.
          by
          When the plant was delivered by FedEx, they dropped the package upside down on the cement. The box was crushed all the way around. I opened it up and the planter container and plant were also crushed. The box clearly states live plant on it but FedEx didn't even care. We'll never by online again. Home Depot should find a new delivery service.

          I ordered 2 yellow peonies. The plants themselves were great; however, the packaging and shipping were poor. They were packaged in separate boxes and one of the boxes did not have the corners pushed in to hold the pot at the bottom of the box. As a result, the one plant arrived severely damaged losing more than half the plant. FedEx also delivered the boxes and left them in the street instead of bringing to my front door. I reported these issues HD, but have not been compensated yet. I would order these peonies again as the plants themselves were great.

          Plants were somewhat crushed by packaging and/or delivery. Two of the three boxes were in the appropriate live plant boxes with holes for air while the third was in a sealed tight box which had broken branches. I decided to keep them as sometimes it’s not worth the trouble of returning.

          Blooming
          Blooming well. Planted late last year but are very healthy and vibrant now.
          by
            I do wish it was a bit bigger. However it arrived in good packaging in tact and the plant was not damaged. It was healthy on arrival and it still in good shape after planting. Assuming it was a young plant as it does not have any flowers this year but hopefully next year. Ive had this for over a month and was able to get it in the ground before the extreme heat so it should be established to remain healthy.
