California Peonies
Joe G (Wed, 11 Jul 2018 05:05:15 PDT)
The treatment I've been using (for species tree peonies) is to remove the
radicle end of the seed coat (carefully!), cold moist stratify until the
radicle forms, then soaking in giberillic acid and sowing the seeds
normally. I've read about folks simply scarifying, soaking in GA-3, and
stratifying, as well as all other manner of pretreatment (soaking in
rubbing alcohol, soaking in indoleacetic acid, anaerobic fermentation,
maybe a combination of all of the above!)

George,
Seeds require treatment. They have a very tough outer coat that should be
nicked to allow for better germination. There are other treatments that may
be effective too.
If you can't find seed, Las Pilitas in Santa Margarita sells plants.

I'm writing to see if anyone on the list has had experience growing
either of the two California native peonies, Paeonia brownii or Paeonia
californica. If so, can you provide any guidance on growing these from
seed? Also, if anyone is aware of sources for seeds for these two plants,
that would be helpful also. Thank you.
