2013 Peony Experiments - Intersectional Divisions Grow
I thought you might like an update on my intersectional peony divisions from my 2012 Peony Experiments - Intersectional Divisions. I was surprised to find last week, that even the division with no roots and old wood has started to grow!!! I am just amazed by this plant's earnestness and vitality. All of the divisions have really taken off. Peony 'Bartzella' has proven to be just a stellar plant in my garden. The tiny red growth from early spring in my 2013 Peony Experiments - Intersectional Divisions has turned into flourishing plants. One of these small divisions even has a flower bud on it! I have since given that one to my grandma, but the rest of them are doing great and still growing! I am also planning to donate another one of these Peony 'Bartzella' divisions to the 2013 American Peony Society Fundraiser Auction. So if you'd like a chance to bid on a stellar peony for Southern gardens, please join us at the 2013 American Peony Society Convention at
Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania!
Have you tried this with any other Itohs, Adriana?
ReplyDeleteLiz,
DeleteI haven't tried this exact experiment with any other intersectional peonies yet, but I did try this experiment with just the intersectional stem pieces only. I'm not sure if it will work as well as the experiment with the crown and root pieces, but I'll let you know how it turns out...
