Another great article Koen on seed germination. I really enjoy your work with peonies and the fact you share it with all of us. Thank you!
I have also experienced similar results with consistent warm temperatures and better germination. My temperatures fluctuated about 2-3 degrees Celsius between daytime and nighttime, and the results for good…Read MoreI’m searching for some ” true seeds ” of P. mascula ssp. bodurii – selfpollinated protected or collected in NW-Turkey – if some one can offer a few , please contact me – thank you.
