What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly praise the 'Lorelei' peony for its exceptional beauty, noting the stunning coral pink coloration and impressive flower size once established. The core theme centers on the magnificent bloom, which validates the investment for successful growers. However, satisfaction is tempered by concerns regarding initial product quality. Several buyers reported receiving root divisions smaller than anticipated, significantly delaying the time needed for the plant to mature and flower. This extended wait impacts the perceived value relative to the price. While the eventual floral reward is highly regarded, initial root health and size present a notable hurdle for some new plantings, requiring patience.
