Leena - also thanks, I have a pot full of P. peregrina 2 years old and was wondering the other day if to transplant the whole pot in a bigger one or in the ground.
Gabriela, for me P.peregrina and other related species are more difficult than P.dauricas, P.weitchii and quadruple hybrids (which are usually very easy and vigorous peonies), but I think when they are small they are better to handle than when they are bigger. My soil has not enough lime and P.peregrina and such get easily root diseases in my garden (even with added lime).
This year some of my P. delavayi seedlings flowered, which seeds I harvested in autumn 2016; so 1.5 years after the harvest, I got already a first impression how the flowers are looking. One I have already posted earlier (yellow-orange with a red margin); here is another one.In addition I have a seedling with dotted petals. The mother plant I bought once under the name 'Bucky Bella' (but this is not registered). All other seedlings from the same year of this plant showed so far uniform colour +/- same as the mother plant. (Attachment Link) (Attachment Link)
