For those that reside in the USA, this company sells wild-collected seeds of P. brownii. Usually not easy to find, so if you’d like to try your hand at it… A pity they don’t sell their seeds abroad, but given the phytosanitary regulations and costs it’s understandable.

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

I think you should think about converting part of your wild paeonia growing area into a rock garden. This may provide conditions closer to the natural habitat for many of the plants that originate from rocky elevations.
