I've done a terrible mistake last spring. As novice gardener, I've planted a small bare root of a herbaceous peony upside down. When I've realized what I've done a sprout was already growth. I guess the crown is now about 4/5 inches below the pot soil and this spring I'm still waiting for the sprouts. What I can do? Should I wait this autumn and try to rotate the root of 90 degrees or I should just leave the peony this way hoping that nature could manage the situation?
