Comments (1)Thanks, that is great information....See MoreTree Peonies from Naturally Dispersed Seeds?
Comments (1)When I've have sprinkled TP seeds right on the ground, they often put a root into the ground, and even if they end up getting covered up, they are very prone to coming up too early in the season and get killed off by freezes. I have also seen pill bugs eat out all the insides of the seed before they ever have a chance to sprout. It's not uncommon for them to attack the TP seedlings when they are still tender, but once they harden off, they are pretty resistant to most environmental factors as long as they don't get transplanted. It's not OK to transplant them until they go dormant in the fall. I've found that the TP seeds that are planted around 2 inches deep in the flower beds are by far more successful because they generally emerge when freezes are not as bad, and they are protected from either drying out completely or any pests that may get to them before then. If you try any indoor method, be prepared to lose a lot of them because it is very hard to grow them outside of a natural environment....See MoreAlmost time to grow tree peonies from seeds
Comments (5)I asked a question of Carol Adelman about planting tree peonies in pots, ordered a very short tree from them and was concerned about being able to see the blooms since it's a droopy bloom one (Alice Harding). She said it was the constant freezing and thawing that is the culprit rather than just the cold. Our winters here are bad that way, lots of snow followed by very mild temps and lots of sunshine. After her email response I decided to just plant Alice H near a 3' retaining wall rather than try the pot since I couldn't put a pot anywhere that it wouldn't freeze/thaw/repeat. Seems to work well for some gardeners if they're put in an unheated garage, too, don't have room in mine!...See Moreflowergirl70ks
