Helleborus and Paeonia seedling questions

peony seedlings
Three of four years ago I bought some seeds of paeonia lutea and paeonia
delavayi that were already sprouted and had radicles about half a centimetre
to 1 centimetre long. I potted them in fibrous commercial potting soil and
stuck the pots in the fridge covering the pot with plastic. It was late
spring and they pots stayed in the fridge for a couple of months. When I
took them out , the leaves emerged under lights in the basement shortly. The
plants are quite big now. Paeonia obovata got pretty much the same
treatment. The seed was mixed with moist vermiculite and kept in warm
temperature until the radicles merged. Later on they got the same treatment
in the fridge as the other types. Hope it helps.
