I contacted the Canadian Peony Society on behalf of the PTG and see if they would be willing to donate some roots for growing on to the PTG. They will supply roots and we will grow them for 4 or 5 years. After said time we will dig up for CPS root sale and be allowed to keep a piece for the PTG. Win/win.
This year I am also growing peonies from seed. As soon as the ground is workable we will set aside 3 beds to planted out to seed. Maybe we will be lucky and have a viable, desireable new bloom. I can't wait to get the beds started.
