Paeonia Lutea SSP Ludlowii
The lovely yellow “Tree Peony” produces masses of golden yellow bowl-shaped flowers from late spring until mid-summer. It is relatively slow-growing, producing masses of strong “trunks” which lengthen over the years, but it is a very long lived thing, becoming an heirloom after ten years or so.
Sow at any time, covering with compost or grit half an inch deep. Keep moist in a cold spot outside as peonies are very slow to germinate, sometimes taking up to two years to appear. Do not use artificial heat as this may simply kill them. As a rule they just make an underground root the first year, shoots appearing above ground in year two. Grow on seedlings in 3 pots and finally plant out in good garden soil. Never discard the seed tray until the seedlings appear.
