Ready for Winter. Cut down with some 10 cm left as research has shown this results in the least amount of botrytis the following year. The precise drip irrigation is also showing nicely on this picture, only water where it’s needed. Halfway to end of December the plants will receive their GA3 treatment and the sides of the polytunnel will be…Read More

@lindapeony Not at the beginning. They need some natural cold, then after this you can shorten their cold requirements by giving the GA3 and if late enough and warm enough, they will start growing before they normally would. If you give it at the beginning of the cold period (which has already started no doubt with the colder nights) it will not…Read More

Paeonia daurica ssp daurica. Sometimes known as the ‘Crimean Peony’ (although there is also P. tenuifolia growing there). Old names P. triternata or even P. corallina triternata. According to Hong this species grows there but also in Turkey and westwards to former Yugoslavia. The Crimean version is known to have wavy leaflets (much more than my…Read More

Paeonia flavescens. From selfed seeds from a wild plant which originated in Sicily (around Palermo). Theoretically a synonym for either P. mascula russoi or P. mascula hellenica, and thus not officially recognized as a species itself, though there’s reason to believe it is. It resembles neither of those synonyms in fact. Looks most like mascula…Read More

Paeonia morisii from Sardinia (Sardegna). According to Hong a synonym for P. corsica, which is very variable. It might be argued that his classification of P. corsica is not completely perfect as there is a P. corsica on the island of Corsica which is different from this one and there is also P. sandrae on Sardinia which is different as well. And…Read More

A first post in this new group about peony species. As I’ve used it as the cover image for this group it’s only fitting to start with this species: Paeonia velebitensis. Wild collected in Croatia, the Velebit Mountains, East of the city/village of Karlobag, which is the area from where the dried herbarium specimens originated that Hong De-Yuan…Read More

Paeonia kesrouanensis (or P. turcica depending on your views). Naturally growing along the eastern Mediterranean countries at higher elevations under some shadow from trees and shrubs. From south-eastern Turkey downwards to Syria and Lebanon. In southern and south-western Turkey the P. turcica, which is supposedly a synonym according to Hong, is…Read More

Paeonia broteri grows wild in Portugal and Spain. If you’re looking for seeds from nature you can order them from the Portuguese seed company Sementes Vivas. They are located close to a natural population in Touloes, Idanha-a-nova close to the border with Spain in the middle of Portugal. It is known there as Rosa Albardeira and the company is…Read More

Thank you very, very much!
I hunted them out online, and have found the following, in Portuguese, English, AND French:

Paeonia brownii. The few seeds I received over the years usually germinated, but the seedlings always died pretty soon. Giessler peonies in Germany seems to have more knowledge and sells these wonderful roots. I cannot see whether they are grafted upon roots of P. delavayi as he is able to do, but I do hope to be able to grow it a least a few years.

How could we have missed this? Two long articles on peonies in the ‘International Rock Gardener’ magazine. It’s a publication from the Scottish Rock Garden Club.
“This month IRG presents two articles on peonies – the first on Czech bred
herbaceous peonies from Pavel Sekerka and the second on tree peonies by Joe
Harvey in Canada. “…Read More - Load More Posts

GA3 should be used before the begainning of peony’s dormancy, i.e, halfway to end of December in Belgium?
