Overwintering a peony root... [View all]

I bought a peony root which I've been desiring for a long while...one of the spendy ones with a beautiful ivory color, 'bomb' form and lovely scent.

Then depression hit and I was unable to get it into the ground before the ground froze.
How do I treat this root in order to keep it viable until spring?

Thanks...

Glad you got your energy back, Badgerpup. I think I would pot it up for the winter, enough Dec 2011 #1

I guess you could do that, but I wouldn't use plastic wrap. enough Dec 2011 #3

No, do NOT put it in your refrigerator. TygrBright Dec 2011 #4
