Here is an interesting article published by University of Michigan about viruses in peonies. We are seeing a lot of visual indications of virus recently. It seems to be more common.

Several species peonies seem to have difficulty with the wet Winter/Spring. Resulting in quite a few losses. Sometimes I have several plants of species, most often when I receive a dozen seeds and I get quite good germination. Often it can be seen that some plants within the same species are better than others at withstanding our local climate,…Read More

Paeonia kesrouanensis has some of the largest seeds in the peony kingdom. I’m not sure if the same can be said of P. turcica, which is sometimes said to be synonymous, as I don’t have mature plants thereof. But in P. kesrouanensis they are markedly bigger than in other herbaceous ones. It also shows in the developing carpels which can be massive.…Read More

I don’t have much experience growing Paeonia obovata and P. japonica plants, they tend not to grow very well here for some reason. These are some plants grown from seeds, so perhaps not all ‘true’ (the only flowering one was a ‘pink’ P. japonica, see last picture), but there are some 5 different ones of each species and within each species they…Read More

Tree peony growers, focus on tree/woody peonies for 40 years.
160+ varieties are available. 2024 grafted seedlings are open to order now.
Comment and let me know your opinion. -
German Medusa (Giessler, 2018). A somewhat different intersectional hybrid peony. Different because the mother is the tree peony and not the lactiflora variety, which is unlike nearly all others. And also because the tree peony is no lutea hybrid peony but rather Paeonia delavayi, the red form, resulting in a dark red intersectional with different…Read More

Already at the point of harvesting cut peony stems of Elsa Sass. It’s going fast this year, with quite some difficulties (read: botrytis) due to the wet weather. Filled two boxes again for Ultra Low Oxygen treatment and long storage. The image shows what will hopefully deliver some good flowers in September. 3 kg of calcium chloride active…Read More

Yes, virus is quite common. Here in Europe as well. I’ve sampled some of my plants for viruses and it is rather widespread, although often symptomless. Keeping fields healthy through sampling, destroying infected plants and so on will help somewhat but is expensive and never perfect. To really get healthy plants you’d have to propagate through…Read More
