Btw, does anyone know if peony seeds are always fertile?
I actually grow a peony for the infertile seeds
Peony mascula makes both but the 'duds' are actually gorgeous (see red ones below)
The usually small infertile red or black seeds are just empty which is why I always squeeze gently all the seeds I sow
P. mascula is a short plant so situated at the front of a bed it makes quite a statement in the Fall when the pods open, and the seeds are so 'glued in' that they will stay there for weeks
