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 -

It’s still too early this year to write a full article on my experiences with long term storage of peonies in Ultra Low Oxygen circumstances. There are a few articles on the site that describe results from previous years. They all have in common that I started the year optimistic, but never succeeded. It appears to be the same again this year. I…Read More

As some may (or may not) know, I grow peonies as cut flowers. Some of my clients (florists or end customers) at times spontaneously take some pictures of those and there are always a few rather pretty ones. Here you have some of those. Showcasing mostly The Fawn, Old Faithful, Coral Sunset, Amalia Olson and Bowl of Cream.

Our peony season if completely over. Pastelegance was chosen as the Peony of the Year. That’s not a favorite of mine as it doesn’t grow too well here (Belgium). It has a very beautiful double flower, I cannot argue with that, but the plant habit is failing here. One that has a somewhat comparable color (perhaps a little paler) is Just Peachy,…Read More

A rare gem for most peony hybridizers: B-3, an as yet unnamed and unregistered seedling from Bartzella x Lemon Chiffon, thus an intersectional backcross, of which there aren’t many. It’s a sister seedling to Moonwalk (formerly B-4) and Golden Monika (B-1). All of them hybridized by Hans Maschke from Germany. He has no nursery, and doesn’t sell, no…Read More
