Those ones are very long-lasting. I've one that was here when we moved in, in 1988, and the previous owner wasn't a gardener so it would have survived years of neglect.
I agree - those are much tougher and able to withstand rougher conditions than the more fussy, cultivated varieties. They also flower a bit earlier, although they still aren't appearing yet here. Most peonies won't be in flower for a while, except perhaps in very mild areas in the south. Mid to late May here for flowering.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I have had this one in its pot for the last 2 years and it is going from strength to strength.. apologies for the pots behind...er indoors wanted some spuds 🤣
I have a white peony. I think it's Jan van Leeuwen because I saw one of that name at Hyde Hall gardens which looked exactly the same. It flowers towards the end of May.

Thanks jenny, it's probaly a very old plant. It was given to me from a very old neighbour who's sadly passed away now.
