Arne :
You can grow many species in shade or half shade - the most peonies are in her habtiat in woods ( in mountains ) the grow in edges or clearings between trees ,maccia and garrique .
Really good for shade are P. obovata ,veitschii,maireii
half schade prefer : mascula ,officinalis,
lactiflora and hybrids likes more sunny places
Morning sun in winter is not good for peonies !

I hope this will help you a bit !

It is a wet evening but I had to pop outside to get these quick pix of two paeonias, nearest the house because it is raining hard... you will see that in Aberdeen it will be some time before we have any paeony flowers   :-X :(

Hans:

Thank you very much for your information.

I would like to add at least one of the species you have mentioned to a shady part in my garden although I know that some of them are not for the beginner. What about anomala, emodi, obovata or veitchii? Do they prefer any special type of soil?

Arne :

I can not grow well in my climate P. anomala ....I have tried it several times - here it is to hot and dry
P. emodi grows here in a sunny spot ( pics will follow )
P. obovata grws very well for me in woodland conditions ( I grow it in a border east of my house )
P. veitschii is here in a halfshade spot .
All my peonies here grows in calcy soil ( Lös ) -but the importent is a perfect drainage !!!
Please think : they grows on nature always on slops !!!
The most peonies grows on limestone ( broteroi, coriacea, officinalis and ssp., peregrina, caucasica, banatica, russoi, mascula and ssp.,tenuifolia,parnassica,morrisii,cambessedesii.....
P. corsica I have found on granit with a ph of 5,0 !!!

Dear Hans,

Sorry it is me again.

Could your Paeonia lithophila be Paeonia tenuifolia ssp lithophila?

Hi Henk ,

It is always the same problem with P. mlokosewitschii ....- this species grows in Georgia ( Lagodechi) and in the same area grows also P. caucasica .....now we dont know if P. mlokosewitschii can vary or do they mix it with P. caucasica ....
I have still a other ( younger ) plant of P. mlokosewitschii from a friend -he told me his plants are also clear yellow !
Be happy with your yellow plant !

Why sorry -I glad to discuss with you

I dont know exactly what is the latest update for P. tenuifolia from the botanists ....
In my eyes is P. lithophila ( like biebersteiniana and cartalinica too ) only a synonym for P. tenuifolia.
I have named this pic only with the of the plant where I got it ....
