Tree peonies from seed

Chloe_Moderator | Posted in Northeast Gardening on

I germinated a batch of tree peony seeds going on five years ago, and this should be the year they finally bloom. I’m irrationally excited, though I know I may not end up with totally stunning plants. I will update here when they bloom, but in the meantime, has anyone else done this? How were your results?
