I have been trying to grow peonies from seed for probably 2 years. Nothing has worked. I found your video and tried the soil in the bag with seeds after scarification and it worked!! I almost fell out on the floor I couldn’t believe one had sprouted!! Thank you so much for your video!!

Wow, great video!!! 3 years from seed, that's incredible. You also made a comment that the winter or cold season helps them grow.

It made me think of people & how we all go through our "winters, " and if we think we're going backward because nothing is happening "above the surface, " we're actually still growing. And some people take longer than others to flower. Clarissa Pi kola talks about that in "the Late Bloomer." Amazing how you broke this all down into steps!

This is the only video on YouTube that clearly gives me everything I need to know about growing Peoneys!! Very Informative 💯☝🏻

Thank you so much for this great video. I have some beautiful peonies I’d like to share with my friends. I sure hope it doesn’t take six years. My best friend is 90.

My peonies are about 30 years old. They are so dear to me.

[pershop]

wow, if I had not heard you mention about how the peony seed makes roots without leaves fo that first year, I would have thought no germination took place and then go digging through the area I planted to see what's up. Thanks for that bit of info!

Beautiful love peonies, didn’t realize it took so long from seed to bloom.

Thanks, I bout some tree peony seeds 4 years ago. This spring I have a surprise. One peony is showing the first flower bud. :))).

[gnelsasser]

Thank you for this video. I have a beautiful yellow peony that I want to propagate from seeds and this is so thorough.

I love the detail you gave! Really helpful! I had some peonies in my wedding bouquet so I wanted to see if I could eventually plant them and have them forever♡

[marcblack]

Thank you, sir

My grand mum loved them but we had only two bushes of them. I did not know much About flowers and was not that interessted.
Not only In the memory of my grandma, i did not know that peonies Have some historical value, i would like to multiply peonies we Have. It is end of septembar now. I am not sure if i can be sucessfull with seeds but hope at least with roots.

Thank you so much for your video!! I've learned a lot! I tried the baggy and wet napkin, but I placed it in a paper bag. It took almost 3 months to germinate. Then I planted them. I don't have a "green thumb" at all! I was and still probably will dig up a seed to see if I killed it off or "hoping" they are doing well still. I didn't know about the rest nor did I know it took so long for the little buggers to grow up.
The only reason I am trying so hard is that my boyfriend and I are taking care of his 95 year old father. My boyfriend's daughter lost her grandmother years ago and always comes here to pick peonies to put on her grave. The property will be in question when her grandfather passes. So I had the idea to gather seeds from the peonies and save some seeds while also growing a few to give to her on her birthday so that she can have some on her grandmother's peonies on her own property whether her grandfather's property is sold off or stays in the family. So I'll put some more seeds in a baggy and leave in the light while preforming the rest of your directions. Thank you for your video and time!!

Thanks for sharing your knowledge! I’m definitely going to start this process with my peonies this year!

[Prajna]

The music and peony are so heart touching!

[tineejohnston]

Wow thank you for sharing this very helpful information 😇😇😇

[beautifulmedicine]

Great video!! Thank you, I’m a fairly new gardener but I have done well with growing several varieties of peony in my yard and would like to try to grow some of them from seed so this was very helpful 😊

[agneskromah]

You are a good teacher thanks for sharing.
