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 germination were the best. In my cold germination, I used my cold room, which had the worst germination. I did not record temperatures but after reading your article got similar results. Keep up the great work, and thanks for sharing with us your hybridizing goals and results. Super Interesting!

]]> 0 229533517027abcc05b9dd2dffaf6e97 We need some recommendations for fertilizing our peonies. Adam here from Parkland Peonies in Calgary, Alberta. We are a small company growing peonies for bare root mail order, and local cut flowers. We are reaching out to the Peony Society in hopes that someone might help recommend a fertilizer blend and or trace minerals for our peony field. We recently did a soil test on our peony field to see where the soil fertility was at. The test came back, with little recommendation on what is required to grow great cut flower peonies and good healthy roots that could be saleable in 2-3 years. Peony growing is not very big in Canada, as Canada is mostly cereal crops. Our field is about 4 acres, we took 4 soil sample from the field, in each quadrant. As you can see it varies a great deal from each sample. Peonies for root division are in sample area PP-001, and PP-003. Peonies for cut flower are in sample area PP-002, and PP-004. Our goal for the field is 1. to give the peonies all the nutrients they need to produce strong healthy cut flowers and 2. To feed our root division portion of the business so the plants can produce strong saleable roots within 2-3 years. Currently we do not divide our roots until 3-4 years depending on the variety. We would like to shorten this timeframe. We hope that someone might be able to help us develop a fertilizing schedule or maybe someone could recommend a company who specializes in this kind of work. Please find attached our soil sample report. With kind regards, please email us if you think you might be able to help parklandpeonies@shaw.ca Many Thanks Adam Yakabuskie Parkland Peonies www.parklandpeonies.com https://www.peonysociety.org/activity-3/p/1834/ Thu, 23 Mar 2023 23:43:24 +0100

I grow this later windflower strain with the Tolomeo ten as father

Seidl is mentioned – i got 5 different plants of this strain – but only 3 of them has survived

For many years they did not set any seeds..
