I am a new gardenweb member and am trying to get peonies started from seed. These are the herbacious type,not tree peonies, I understand.
I got some seed and the instructions read that I was to soak the seeds overnight and them plant until germinated at about 21 degrees room temp,(roots having started to grow) then put in the frig for the remainder of winter after the roots had sprouted. Those seeds are just in there and nothing has happened. It has beeen two months.I keep digging them up to see if anything has happened! I know peonies are supposed to be buggars to start. I realise I may have chosen a bad time, but I wanted to get them started for a new garden plan this year. I have a water ionizer that gives acid water and I have just watered them twice with acid water. (I understand gibberrellic acid helps start seeds that are difficult to germinate.)

Do you have any wisdom on this?
I have read some of the comments re tree peony seeds. I just would like some good direction/suggestions on what to do next.

I'd appreciate more "peony wisdom."
