Default Re: Germinating tree peony seeds

No problem.

All it takes is a little bit of patience, and these little plants will grow into beautiful flowering shrubs with TLC. It's probably more worth it to wait 4 years for lots of flowers as opposed to buying them at 30-500$ per plant.

Here's a nice blog which has very good information from an expert which is perhaps much better than what I can explain as a beginner with TPs. The most important thing that I can't stress enough is that these seedlings cannot be moved until they go dormant well into fall since they are not resistant to stress at all, even when they appear woody & developed already in the summer. They need to be dormant before transplanting.
