  Hi, I have a peony rhizome that I planted in May/June. I planted it about 4 or 5 inches down. There is no sign of it at all above the soil. What should I do? Is it a dud?

    dig it up, it might still be alive and replant so the the top is above ground.

    You planted it to deep there should not be more than i inch of dirt over the eyes.A good rhizome should have at least 3 eyes .It will still grow with less esyes but not as good. It is buried to deep
