Four years ago I planted a 'Coral Charm' peony given to me by a friend who was taking all blooming plants from his garden (it's now a study in green with leaf color and texture adding all the interest). He said it was a slow grower, so I didn't think much about the fact that it didn't bloom the first two years in my garden.

Finally, last year it had three blooms - I was ecstatic because the color and form were so unusual. This year it looks like it will only have two blooms, but the first one is almost four feet tall!
