Paeonia tenuifolia
FERN-LEAF PEONY
- Unit price
- / per
A garden treasure, Fern-Leaf Peony has finely divided leaves, with almost thread-like segments. The scented red flowers have numerous yellow stamens in the center. Hardy zones 4-8.
These seeds are excellent germinators! They very-much need the cold stratification mentioned in the germination information below, and then a cool start, or they will not grow. They take some time, but are reliable with this procedure, and with such a rare plant, they are a gem to grow from seeds!
Type: Hardy perennial
Hardiness zones: 4-8
Location: Sun or part shade
Seeds per pack: 6 (previously 3)
Sow just under the surface of the soil and water in. Then cover them with plastic and place in a fridge for a full 3 months. Be sure they stay moist. After the cold stratification they are then brought back to a cool room (12-15°C, 54-62°F) for them to germinate. They do not like warm temperatures at this stage, and until they have their second set of leaves. Germination is irregular over a long period of time, generally 1-4 months, but some can take longer. Do not discard the planting tray, as patience is needed, and they are well worth the wait.
Ornamental use only. May be poisonous.
