Paeonia daurica has also been a surprisingly superb performer here...wish I could share images.

From: pbs <pbs-bounces@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net> On Behalf Of Jane McGary via pbs Sent: Tuesday, April 27, 2021 4:47 PM To: Pacific Bulb Society <pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net> Cc: Jane McGary <janemcgary@earthlink.net> Subject: [pbs] Paeonia daurica I hope that attaching a photo to a post is as easy as the FAQs imply. If this worked, it shows a group of Paeonia daurica including P. daurica ssp. daurica (dark pink, from Halda collections in the 1990s), P. daurica ssp mlokosewitschii (light yellow flowers in laft background, also a Halda collection), and their self-sown seedlings (cream flushed pink), growing on sloping clay loam in the garden. The plant of P. mlokosewitschii had similar cream-pink flowers in my former garden, where the soil is higher in iron and potassium; when I relocated it to my present garden, the flowers became yellow. P. daurica self-sows very enthusiastically in this region. The big single flowers don't last as long as double hybrids, but they are very showy in mid-spring, and the foliage is decorative all summer. I don't generally send seed of these to exchanges because other species grow near them (one can be seen in the photo, the shorter plant in the background) and hybridization may occur.
