100% Brand New and high quality.

Features:

1.     Seed Collection: Harvest peony seeds from mature seed pods. Peony seed pods will turn brown and split open when the seeds are ready for collection. Collect the seeds and remove them from the pods.

2.     Seed Cleaning: Clean the seeds by removing any debris or chaff. Rinse the seeds in water to ensure they are free of any remaining pod material.

3.     Seed Stratification: Peony seeds require a period of cold stratification to break dormancy and improve germination rates. Place the cleaned seeds in a sealable plastic bag with slightly moistened vermiculite, peat moss, or a paper towel. Seal the bag and store it in the refrigerator at a temperature between 35-41°F (2-5°C) for about 3 to 4 months. This mimics the winter conditions that the seeds would experience in their natural environment.

4.     Seed Sowing: After the cold stratification period, prepare a seed tray or small pots with a well-draining seed-starting mix. Moisten the soil lightly before sowing the seeds. Sow the peony seeds on the surface of the soil and gently press them into the soil, but do not cover them, as peony seeds require light to germinate.

5.     Germination Conditions: Place the seed tray or pots in a warm location with bright, indirect light. Maintain a temperature around 65-75°F (18-24°C). Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.

6.     Seedling Care: Germination can take several weeks or even months for peony seeds. Once the seedlings have developed several sets of true leaves, they can be transplanted into individual pots or containers. Provide them with bright light and continue to maintain appropriate moisture levels.

7.     Transplanting Outdoors: Peony seedlings can be transplanted outdoors once they are well-established and the weather is suitable. Choose a location with full sun to partial shade and well-draining soil.
