Hi Aulikki, Do the two forms overlap in habitats? Are the geographically isolated forms breeding pure consistently?

We garden near Cambridge, GB. Our soil is very alkaline: Rich deep loam , over marl over chalk . Paeonies of all sorts love it and grow really well.

Paeonia sterniana. Seedling.
4 CommentsTwo survived at my place. One from seeds (see picture) and one seedling.
The seedlings were too dry and the others didn’t grow at all.
I learned that sterniana hates to grow in a greenhouse. It needs the outdoors humidity.
(wish I had knew this before!)
Placed outdoors it’s trouble free and recovered from looking poor. (until yet
)
Paeonia obovata alba Gun Su Che. Stigma‘s same colour like P. japonica?
We try to trace its origin but failed until yet.
Probably a plant from the former nursery Chen Yi- Load More Posts





























Great to see it’s doing fine with you! Lost one of two last Winter here. The last one has decreased in size as well, I hope for survival now.
