Edges without Eyes
Comments (24)I didn't respond to this post before because I knew it would get me to looking at Chris Rogers intro's again. She and Dan Hansen have some intros that have eye no edges. I spent hours on his website before drooling. I will eventually order a couple from him. Here are two that definitely caught my eye in this category. There are more if you look through the photos on his website, Ladybug Daylilies. Pat Stamile also has some new ones in this category. Tipped in Rouge is one I like, and Edged in Pink. Ruby Border is a new intro for this spring. Pat is working with Tet Beautiful Edgings in his program. All pictures are by hybridizer.

Too bad I don't have any dormant buds to try out, but I believe the base of a bud may have the same properties as a branch.

I plan on trying it out with a few sample TP buds....See MorePropagating itoh peonies from dormant eyes
Comments (5)I was able to get some itohs at reasonable prices from eBay, but most sources list them at $50-100 which is kind of crazy considering how easily they propagate, but I like itohs so I'll be collecting even more species once I get a chance. I only have 8 of them so far. I like how they can easily be split up for viable divisions, even from small fragments, and I also have herbaceous peonies that I can graft the woody stems onto if I want to make more plants....See MoreThrow away peony roots without eyes?
Comments (2)Some peonies will form eyes on bare roots. Since you should not compost them. Why don't you plant them in an out of the way space and see what happens. Perhaps if you know what your original plant was someone paion or Peonyman could tell you if that variety is adventicious. sp?...See Morelizbest1
