What customers say
Gardeners highly praise the 'Peony - Moon of Nippon' for its striking aesthetic, featuring crisp white petals and a dense golden center. Initial satisfaction is strong because the company ships large, healthy, and well-packaged bare roots, instilling confidence. The core theme revolves around the plant's potential beauty versus the required patience. While experienced growers value the eventual elegant blooms, newer gardeners often express frustration over the natural two to three season delay before robust flowering occurs. Satisfaction is ultimately tied to successful establishment. This peony is recommended for those prepared for the necessary commitment to realize its full visual reward.
