I have a peony species collection which is mostly intended for hybridizing with more recent hybrid cultivars. They are being grown in an elevated bed, under shade cloth, whilst some are being grown in

For Uwe @manolito some images of roots of P. macrophylla. From North Eastern Turkey, wild plants. As you can see: carrot shaped roots, (sometimes very) long and rather slender. Images from Cemal Sandalli, Turkish scientist, working on a paper describing this species in more detail. Publication forthcoming.

Just a small anecdote about a rare peony species P. sterniana. Last year I lost my only small plantlet of this species, even though I tried my best giving it good growing conditions. It was a small root that I received from the Edinburgh Botanical Garden (in Scotland that is). As far as I knew they had the only true plants of this species outside…Read More

A good new. Unfortunalely, as you say, this species is unavailable. In its habitat in South-East Tibet (Xizang), only a few hundreds of plants grow.

@phenix Alain, My aim is twofold here. 1. As with most peony species I grow, I’d like to hybridize them with more recent advanced hybrids. And 2. Make them available to more people. To give that the best of chances I’ve also sent some divisions and seedlings to other (more) experienced peony species growers. It’s best not to put all your eggs in…Read More

Got a seedling 2015 from Teppi and it had rather small and not very attractive flowers, but there was something about the color of the flower that appealed to me. The leaves were stout and quite tall, so I suspected that the flowers would develop as the root grew larger. Today it makes single and semi-double flowers now and the color is really…Read More

Some phographs from this year’s ULO (Ultra Low Oxygen) treatment. Harvested May 26th. So just over 2 months of storage. Best results in 4 years of trial so far with good opening of the flowers and good vase life. Next opening of ULO box in one month from here.

This is an older article, but I’ve always thought it is an excellent introduction to peonies for gardeners that are only familiar with the few standard varieties. The magazine lets you read a few articles for free, so if it’s the first article you’re trying to view on their site, you’ll be able to read it in…Read More

good luck pulling the plants and lots of grit under the roots.
