What a great spring-time plant. We paid umpteen dollars for this from Barry Yinger a few years back, but haven't regretted it since. Just keeps getting bigger and bigger.

The seed pods open late in summer to reveal hot pink seeds!

David it's a very lovely plant!

Beautiful!

Just beautiful! Lost mine, but found some seeds.
Speicies peonies from seeds are not always what you are looking for! Here my muddy P. mlokosewitschii

Very nice, Liselotte. We've been wanting a p. obovata, but it is very expensive! How long did that take to bloom from seed?

Wow, that's a beauty! I'll have to look into getting one. Thanks for sharing.

Both are very nice! I've got my very first peoni (to ever survive a year that is) ready to bloom soon, but looks like maybe just a couple Can't wait though.

Anyone grow the sorbet? Can't remember it's full name, but always wanted one...

Hi David, well after viewing your pic, I just had to have one and did place an order. Any tips on getting it to grow like yours? I plan on planting it where it would receive morning sun in spring but as the trees leaf out it would be in a pretty shady spot for the rest of the year. Thanks for posting the pic, I love it.

Ours gets fleeting mid-day sun up by the house, but mostly high shade. As such, its leaves get a bit crispy by the end of summer. It has been easy to grow for us.

Resurrecting an old post to add pictures of the seeds of this one. The plant itself tends to look a little toasted by this time, but this is an intersting late summer show (photo from 31 August).

Both are beautiful plants. Thanks for posting such pretties.

Very nice David. In the P. japonica photo, what are the herbaceous plants growing behind the hostas, closest to the house? I first thought they might be hellebores but can't tell. One has very nicely divided foliage.

Good eye, Joseph. Hellebores to the left, kalmia to the right. In the mid-background there's also an astilbe coming up.
