Can tree peonies be grown from peony seeds?
Tree peony seeds can grow peonies. The seeds of tree peonies have the ability to sprout, and through appropriate planting methods, peony plants can be cultivated. However, when planting peony seeds, the following points should be noted:
Seed selection: It is best to use fresh tree peony seeds as they have a higher germination rate. If aged peony seeds are used, the germination rate will be greatly reduced.
Pre sowing treatment: In order to improve the germination rate of tree peony seeds, it is necessary to perform certain treatments on the tree peony seeds. For example, peony seeds can be treated with 1% gibberellin for 48 hours or in a low temperature environment of 5 ℃ for a period of time to release dormancy.
Sowing time: Although peony seeds can be sown in both spring and autumn, the climate and environment in spring are more suitable. After sowing, peony flowers can quickly germinate and the survival rate can be guaranteed.
Sowing method: Evenly sprinkle the processed peony seeds on the soil surface, then cover it with a thin layer of soil and spray water to keep it moist. In the later stage, temperature control is also necessary to ensure that the temperature is appropriate to promote the rapid germination of seeds.
However, it should be noted that peonies grown through sowing have a very slow growth rate and require many years of cultivation before they can bloom. Therefore, in practical applications, the sowing method is rarely used for the propagation of peony flowers.
In summary, although tree peony seeds can produce peonies, they are usually not the main mode of reproduction due to their long growth cycle. During the planting process, attention should be paid to the selection, treatment, and sowing methods of seeds to improve their germination and survival rates.
