Description
This is one of the first cultivated peony in Europe and then in North America; first as a medicinal plant actually and later for its ornamental qualities. Many cultivars are on the market today, but the regular species usually has pink flowers. There are few subspecies recognized with minor differences between them.
Garden cultivated plants are of course open pollinated.
Excellent included in the flower border or even used in groups; drought resistant. After flowering the foliage will provide a long decor.
Germination: if sown fresh in late summer/very early fall, the seeds will germinate readily next spring. If not, they will need first a warm/moist period followed by a cold/moist period for complete germination. In translation, it will take 2 years for the first leaves to appear.
