Default Peony - when to plant

They were from a friend who divided them last fall and kept them in his
garage over winter. He doesn't know what to do with them either. I put
them in my bulkhead to keep them dormant. These are bush peony. Bright
reds and whites. I haven't a clue what he sent me - he doesn't either.

ahhhh.. what does the seller recommend you do with them until they can be planted? I
guess I would refrigerate them for a couple weeks. I dont think you can expect them
to bloom this year, or next year, but the year after. I just got some outrageous
peonies last fall and am going to be happy to see good looking leaves. be absolutely
sure you follow directions for planting as there are tree peonies and bush and they
require somewhat different planting. Ingrid

I received 20 dormant peony cuttings. I'm in zone 5 and the ground is
still frozen/muddy. My question is this: When can I plant my peony roots
and can I expect them to bloom this year?

Thanks
