Topic: Tree paeoni.

[carolinej]

Hello :),

I planted some tree paeoni seeds last spring. I just checked them and they have 2 inch shoots. There are about 10 seedlings in a  8 inch pot. Does anyone know when I should put them in their own pots? Dont want to risk it in the cold , but dont want to damage them by them being pot bound together.

Thanks

I'm in the same situation; I've got one or two still to come up, I hope, so I'm going to leave them for a couple of weeks yet, then pot them up.

Graceland, the seeds need a [eriod of cold before they will germnate. Even the ones in a cold greenhouse may not have been cold enough for long enough. If the seeds have not rotted away, then put the whole container in the Salad compartment of your fridge for a month. It might trigger them into growth.

Ok worth atry Ta Will do  :)

Best thing to do with paeony seed is just leave it out in a pot and wait. mine produced roots early last autumn, sat through the winter, and produced shoots in the last few weeks. They get there in their own good time.

Am I the only one who thinks Paeoni looks like it is spelt wrong ???

Peony = English

Paeoni = latin

Peeny = Strine

If you want to be scientific, it's Paeonia.
