Paeonia sp. received as P. morisii but it is wholly glabrous, so it could be P. mascula ssp. russoi.

In fact I received this plant labelled P. morisii together with an other one labelled P. corsica. Both plants from G. Raschun. I was just wondering whether labels were mixed up or not. My Paeonia corsica is very tomentose under the leaves which are shiny/glossy.

In my experiences with Gerhard Raschun I’ve found he’s a reliable person with good plants so I think they will both be true species plants. P. morisii from Sardinia has very glossy leaves and is very tomentose on the backside. And I thus think this plant, which you show here will be the P. corsica from Corsica. I’ll try looking it up, but I…Read More

Paeonia daurica ssp. wendelboi is ready to flower but I lost P. decomposita and P. daurica ssp. velebitensis.

P. decomposita is also struggling here. Hasn’t grown last year it seems. I had them in horticultural crates for some time and wanted to plant them outside last year. But I didn’t have any place nor time then to move them all and left one such crate under deep shade of trees. It grew very well there actually. Then I moved it to my other species to…Read More

Thank you for your comments Koen, they are useful for our experience. P. decomposita received too much rain as we have had heavy rains and frosts just after. I will have a look to P. velebitensis in autumn and will dig it for a division if it is possible. I have a small 2 years aged seedling of P. clusii received from F. Depalle which grows well…Read More

We need some recommendations for fertilizing our peonies.
Adam here from Parkland Peonies in Calgary, Alberta. We are a small company growing peonies for bare root mail order, and local cut flowers.We are reaching out to the Peony Society in hopes that someone might help recommend a fertilizer blend and or trace minerals for our peony field.…Read More

You’ll find that guidelines for peony fertilization vary widely. Surveys sent out to professional peony growers in the Netherland in the 2010’s found that knowledge on this subject is rather limited and based upon previous years of experience. Guidelines from research institutes also have a huge range for all those elements. Next to that how the…Read More

This is a late reply, I know, but for what it’s worth, the nursery I’m associated with sends foliage to their local agricultural agency, where they grind the leaves up and analyze their constituents , and base their fertilizer recommendations off of those results. So they use plant samples, rather than soil samples. How they know what they want…Read More

Image I saw on a page. I think experts can make a better species definition from the visual.

Difficult to say really. All we see are tomentose carpels, dark pink stigmas and a pink flower. You can exclude many peonies, it’s not a tree peony for example as there is no ‘sheath’ around the carpels. And the species with normally a different color or glabrous carpels can also be excluded, but several remain. Some possibilities: P. mascula ssp…Read More

It could be, but without the leaflets it’s hard to say. If from Turkey it could be P. arietina, P. daurica or P. mascula ssp mascula. For P. arietina you would need hairs on the stems and leaf stalks and backside of the leaflets. The others will be without hairs on those places. P. daurica will have only 9 leaflets on the lowest leaf and should…Read More

You are very knowledgeable. How did you get so much information? Congratulations. Thank you for this good information. If this information had been released as open source, perhaps much newer species could have emerged. I believe it is useful information.

Thank you for the compliment although I don’t consider myself an expert. If you go to ‘species’ in the menu above, you can read quite a bit about the peony species. It is true that most publications about peonies are not exactly open source. Some garden books are not too expensive, but the specialized botanical books or articles are usually way to…Read More

Pretty. From where in Turkey? I cannot count the number of leaflets, but from the look of it I think it is P. daurica, or perhaps (less likely) P. mascula ssp mascula. So from the images I would guess somewhere Southern Turkey?

This is the only one of your images that I’m not really sure about what it is. I don’t yet have a decent large plant of P. mascula russoi, but it looks somewhat different? Could it perhaps not be P. corsica from Corsica itself? P. morisii/P. corsica are quite often used as synonyms but it is said that P. corsica from Corsica is actually different…Read More
