Yes, they were. It was really just an accidental thing. When weeding the garden, I come upon peony seedlings. I do deadhead my peonies after they bloom, but I obviously miss a few! Several years ago, I decided to keep a few of the seedlings and grow them along. These are the plants I ended up with. I should try to do some actual planned crosses. This year I have about 100 daylily seedlings grown from crosses, so why not add peonies!
This year I moved five peony seedlings from my perennial beds.
