Seeds of Paeonia tenuifolia and Paeonia qiui
« on: September 15, 2012, 05:45:48 AM »
I am hoping to find seeds of Paeonia tenuifolia from various sources.  I am especially looking for seeds from any P. tenuifolia that are of taller stature and other variability including flower form, leaf coarseness, leaf color.

I also would like to find seeds of Paeonia qiui.

I am willing to pay for seeds and cost of shipping.

Due to a horribly dry and hot summer here in Midwest USA any Paeonia seeds my plants set are of very poor quality.  We had 2 months without moisture and most of that time was exposed to temperatures ranging from 95° F to 106° F
I generally only try to grow plants that don't want to grow here.

Good luck Leon.
Here in N.E. Scotland we have found this year to be a very poor season  for seed on a wide range of plants.

Its been a while, but I'd be happy to send the 4 seeds of P. qiui that I got this year.

Olga in Moscow very kindly sent me a large packet of seed of P. tenuifolia some time ago so she may be able to help? I was able to spread it around somewhat and I have many seedlings coming through in this their second year, just 3 in the sowing year. The foliage from the year older plants is very dark and reddish so far.

Leon,
Yes I have lots of P. tenuifolia seeds every year. The problem is we are not allowed to send seeds from Russia. I send seeds when go abroad. No foreign trips until May, sorry.

Thank you Olga.  Rules are there for a reason and we have to follow them.
