You know what? Bare root Rockii tree peony seedlings look like this!
Before we eliminate them, we will first hang waterproof hang tags on each plant and trim off the leaves on top of the paper strips. This minimizes transpiration during transport and ensures nutrients to the roots.A short update on the ULO long term storage project of peonies. In a terrible peony year with quality far below par you cannot expect better peonies after twelve weeks of storage. So we tried only few stems of second grade to see how far we got. A longer article will follow when leisure is available. Some results: drying them out too much before…Read More

To really get healthy plants you’d have to propagate through…Read More
