Comment and let me know your opinion.Hallo Khurtekant
Meine zwei Paeonia kesrouanensis haben mich dieses Jahr mit einer Blüte beglückt. Die Pflanzen habe ich beim Jan Moors in Belgien gekauft. Die nächsten die blühen werden sind Paeonia – Coriacea Marokko.
Ich denke du wirst sicher Jan Moors kennen. Schade das man in GB bei Paul Christiansen nicht mehr kaufen kann. Viele Wil…Read More2 Comments
Danke für die schnelle Antwort. Diese Nacht gibt es noch mal Frost und ich mache mir Sorgen das ich einige Blütenknospen einbüßen werde. Ich hatte mir vor Jahren 3x Jishanensis aus China schicken lassen. Habe alles ohne Pflanzenpapiere durch den Zoll bekommen und sie gedeihen sehr gut. Falls du Interesse hast könnte ich dir im Herbst ein oder zwei…Read More
Hallo an alle Pfingstrosenfreunde, heute kommt im Deutschen Fernsehen MDR 21 Uhr eine Sendung über Tulpen und Paeonien. Der Beitrag kann auch in der Mediathek MDR unter ” Der Osten entdecke wo du lebst” angeschaut werden. Zu sehen sind die Pfingstrosengärtner Steffen Schulze und Wolfgang Giessler und einige Mitglieder unserer Züchtergruppe. Au…Read More

I’d love to see it. But it turns out that MDR has geoblocking enabled and the video cannot be viewed outside of Germany. Perhaps with a proxy server and such things it would be possible to bypass that filer, but I would have to look into that. Maybe I can find the television station on my own tv this evening. Thanks for the notice!

Great plants, you sure have a nice collection of species plants! P. jishanensis I’ve not often seen before. I’m only vaguely aware of the differences between species tree peonies (I’m mostly into herbaceous ones), but the foliage of this one reminds me a bit of P. decomposita (short, lobed leaflets). Pretty plant! Thanks for posting!

Hi Koen, I got the P. jishanensis from Giessler , i had a P.decomposita ssp. rotundiloba once too , it didn’t make it – good drainage, a slightly raised planting site or a slope as a planting site are advantageous. Dick Westland also has the P. jishanensis in culture. With mine I have taken 2 scions u. grafted on P. lactiflora – roots – am…Read More

Yes, I noticed Giessler had it in his catalogue. I’ve read it also grows from shoots that appear further along its roots, helping it to spread. I used to have several P. decomposita grown from seed in the past, but the only one left here is also somewhat struggling. The advise you give about growing them are things I also try doing, but it seems…Read More

Yes, it is true – the P. jishanensis forms runners from the rootstock – by the way also a characteristic of P. qiui . These runners are allowed to grow a little stronger and are separated from the rootstock in the fall, leaving a young plant without grafting or pollinating. Over the young plant I give a large pot from October to March (like a…Read More

Hello Ulf. Yes, I know Jan Moors, he doesn’t live too far from me actually. I’ve never met him in person, but we’ve been in contact often. I’ve also got Paeonia coriacea from Morocco from him, same thing here, not so far from flowering. What is conspicuous about it is that is has very pale green leaflets, much paler than all others. It was the…Read More
