Ray ,

I have grown earlier P.californica ....they are easy from seed....but after this a lot of problem ( they are wintergrowing ) - much trouble - and not a pretty plant.
I have given up this plant and also P.brownii .... :-\

Earlier this year, I was sent some seed - a LOT of seed - of Paeonia tenuifolia, by Olga. As you see below there is already one up (I have 4 pots this size and was able to send some to other seed addicts as well). This one has its first true leaves and when I went to take the photo this morning, I found 2 more breaking through. This seems very soon for germination as I've usually found the root is made in year one and a shoot above the surface in year two. But I'm not complaining. :D

Lesley ,

it is more or less normal that P.tenuifolia has a quick germination - mostly in the first winter .

Also it is typical that P.tenuifolia has a epigeal germaination - the most other peonies have a hypogeal germination

Lesley
I am glad my children are growing up!  :-*
I usually use my own fresh not dried seeds and they germinate very well. Sometimes my clients sent dried seeds say they do not germinate after first winter.
