DogsNDaylilies said:ooh, peonies...now that's something that someone recently recommended to me and I think I might try to plant one from seed this year. I'm debating if I just want to try it out here at this house first, or if I should hang onto the seeds for our next house. (Some days the 'moving' thing seems like it's never going to happen, so I want to just get on with planting everything!)
I understand that peonies from seed can be a very long process. I was lucky enough to win a place in the NARR last year and ended up with two beautiful peony roots! I'm keeping my fingers crossed because it's still very cold out here and the planted roots are still under their "mulch...."
Anyway, for anyone considering peonies, I wanted to recommend the NARR!
And I also started some seeds indoors recently. I tried those compressed disks that expand when you put water on them. Some seem to be doing well, yet two of them sprouted and then the tender little sprouts just fell over at the "ground" level, then dehydrated and died. If they were outside I'd say it was cutworm, but they're inside. Does anyone have an idea about what may have gone wrong? Could it be from overwatering?
I should mention that the seeds are gypsum. Baby's breath.
TIA!
