Title: Seeds of Paeonia obovata late form
Post by: Leena on October 25, 2014, 10:28:02 AM: I have some seeds of a late form of P.obovata which is second generation of wild collected from Mt Changbai, China, and it flowers about three weeks later than "normal" P.obovata. It also comes up much later in the spring than other species peonies. It is not as showy as P.obovata or P.obovata ssp willmottiae (to my thinking), but a nice plant for woodland garden anyway. I didn't send these seeds to the seed exchange because they would have been mixed with ordinary P.obovata and this is different (so someone growing this and expecting to get normal P.obavata could be dissappointed).
The seeds are open pollinated but at the time this peony flowers I don't have any other species flowering any more, though I have some lactiflora hybrids flowering elsewhere in the garden (perhaps 40 meters from this plant).
I have posted pictures of this plant in the forum here

I would be interested in having some of your seeds if you still have them available.

Kind regards

Peter Lunding
