I am looking for peony poppy seeds black, white, purple and red. Also looking for white cleome & black currant swirl, double white, double yellow datura. To trade I have Rose of Sharon mixed white, pink, purple & pink, mixed foxgloves, catalpa tree, campsis orange trumpet vine, mixed lupines, sweet williams, mixed verbascum & Ligularia Desdemona seeds. I would like to trade with as many different seeds as possible in one trade.

Hey Rick, your peony is beautiful. I've tried growing one but didn't get it going. since then I have gathered this PROPAGATING TREE PEONY zones 4-6 height...6-8 ft. Spacing 4-6 ft Sun to partial shade . Tree Peony mix of Pinks/White/Burgundies The important thing is to get them planted as soon as possible. Propagation Methods: From seed; sow indoors before last frost From seed; direct sow after last frost The seed necessarily need the winter chill for the seedlings to emerge in the spring after they have had some time in the ground during warm fall days. The natural freezing and thawing process that nature provides seems to do a much better job than trying to artificially provide this indoors. Believe me, I have tried it. Nothing is better than Mother Nature. It takes about a year to get a Tree Peony Seed to the size of a potted plant. Dr. Carsten Burkhardt, Kolkwitz, Germany http://www.hillkeep.ca/ts%20paeonia.htm Tree peonies can be grown from seed, but you need to be patient. Expect to wait 7 years for your plant to flower. Like Camellias, the Tree Peony grown from seed will not be true to the hybrid and is likely to disappoint info from internet searches::: I don't have time for a 7 year wait so I hope my kids or grand kids or great grand kids get me one. gammy2

Afowlwer11, I have a double white lilac that I've been growing for a few years and is running out of space. I will bring it to the fall Green Elephant Plant Swap (1st Sat in Nov.) I am not looking for a trade, but I see you're looking for a white lilac. If it works out that the yellow peony is still around in fall, and you want to drive out to Redmond, I'd love a start of it. Have fun digging the bamboo. I've busted a gut doing that a few times. Best Regards, Jim Eichner

There is a huge color range now with tree peonies: peach, pink, yellow, gold. Check out Solaris Farms on the web; he has a huge selection of new hybrids or Klemn's Song Sparrow for older varieties.
