5 i think, but not bad for first flowering. i bought this as a bare root plant when i first moved, and this is the first time it has done the job for me :-) - i have another one in the back garden, but no flowers as yet...but i did move it last year so possibley still sulking.

They do take ages to flower. Shame. The good thing is that they are long-lived plants!

There's an elderly lady near here whose dark red paeonies are over 40 years old...she planted them when she moved into her cottage!
