| | Hybridize and grow peony seeds |
| | First of all, not all peony flowers have pollen or carpels that can be pollinated. | | | Peony seeds are ready to collect when they are intense in color: black, purple, brown, or even deep blue. | | | To germinate a peony seed, place several handfuls of vermiculite in a plastic freezer bag with a ziplock top. |

| | Peony |
| | Peony is a perennial plant which occurs in the wild as well as being cultivated in a number of gardens. | | | Peony is found in mountain woodlands and is widely cultivated as a garden plant. | | | Peony plants are usually left undisturbed, but after several years, or whenever the flowers begin to get smaller and the stems get too crowded, they should be divided. |

| | Planting and Caring Tree Peony Tips |
| | Peonies planted in clay or plastic pots require continual replanting, as the roots girdle and stop the plant from growing. | | | The best time to fertilize peonies is the early spring or after blooming or before the winter. | | | Tree peonies and herbaceous peonies prefer a soil pH of 6.5 to 7.0. |

| | Learn About Peonies - Some Basic Peony Botany |
| | Tree peonies are woody plants while herbaceous peonies by definition are plants that are not woody but rather are leafy plants that die down at the end of each growing season. | | | The peony seed is about the size of a pea and is surrounded by a hard dark shiny coat. | | | Peony shoots pushing through the cold spring soils are true harbingers of spring. |

| | Peonies |
| | Peonies are grown for their large, showy and fragrant flowers. | | | Tree peonies like the same soil conditions as the herbaceous but require more shelter from the wind, and the larger-flowered varieties will hold their flowers for a longer time if protected from the sun during the hottest part of the day. | | | The large showy, flowers of peonies are produced in mid-to late spring. |

| | Peony paraphernalia |
| | Peonies with large many-petaled flowers are apt to hang their heads, especially just after a spring rain. | | | Peonies grown this way can be timed as to when they will bloom, and can be matured as much as two weeks earlier than usual. | | | Even on tree peonies, where the stems are woody and stiff, some peony flowers just naturally hang down. |

| | Peony Problems |
| | General insect problems such as aphids or chewing insects can be treated with insecticides. | | | When a peony actually starts to form buds that don't fully develop or open, it is usually due to an insect or disease problem. | | | Ants are often blamed for problems with peony blooms, but they are only there to gather the sweet drops of nectar the flowers scales exude. |

| | Peony: Invest in Beauty |
| | The natural shape of the tree peony is, typically, a cluster of woody stems of various age rising to meet a canopy of gracefully arranged leaves, each a puzzle of division into three's, whirled around the current season's stems on long leaf-stems. | | | Other than this the tree peony should not be pruned because its wood carries next year's flowers. | | | And they are fragrant, possessing all perfumes known to the peony family plus some delicious lemony odors in Lutea hybrids (the group of yellow-plus-reds). |

| | Moonstruck Peony |
| | Although its protective powers were illusory, peony still “shines” as one of the showiest flowers of spring. | | | Single blooms of the flower are considered “male” and the double varieties “female.” Those blooms posses what Louise Beebe Wilder describes as a “coarse rose scent.” She reports that the double whites and pinks generally have the strongest odor, with single and red varieties having the least. | | | They harvested those roots at night, since woodpeckers were thought to jealously guard the peony by day—and to peck out the eyes of anyone caught interfering with the plant! |

| | Diseases of Peony |
| | Peonies can be healthy, vigorous and disease-free if grown on a favorable site that includes full sun, good air circulation, adequate water, and good drainage. | | | If symptoms are severe, and growth and flowering are greatly reduced, the plant can be removed and discarded. | | | Leaf and stem spots may be controlled best by removing old top material in the fall, cutting the stems at ground level and destroying those parts. |

| | Peony Bushes |
| | Some peony bushes have only a few large blooms, while others are covered in bright small blooms that make excellent contrast with the deep green of the foliage. | | | Wind can often times destroy a beautiful flower, so planting where there is good wind protection is a must in order to protect the bloom from possible damage from wind. | | | First of all, planting below a tree will limit the amount of sunlight that the bush is given each day, and peonies require a minimum of six hours of direct sunlight daily in order to bloom. |
