Has anyone successfully grown Paeonia cambessedesii in a zone 5 or 6 part of the world?

Peter, we have grown P. cambessedesii in zone 3/4, in a sand bed, for a few years. Before that we got one through one winter in ordinary well-drained garden soil and then lost it.

I planted some Paeonia cambessedesii seed from NARGS this year.  Hopefully, they will make it....

Hello Sharon (and Rob)!  Welcome to the forum, and so nice to have you here!  Don't hesitate to regale us with your great garden know how and wonderful photos.  Our Chapter still remembers fondly their trip to you place, and your banquet presentation oh so many years ago... Smiley

Just a single pic of an old peony.
This plant I saved from an abandoned site many, many years ago. It did grow in my parent's garden till last year (had grown to a very large clump though). Now the house is sold so last fall I saved a piece and planted at our summerhouse. So this is the first flower on its new place Grin
I believe it is P. veitchii.

...........................I believe it is P. veitchii.

I notice no one has given an alternative suggestion Trond.

Lets try to to open discussion. Here is what I bought some years ago with the label "Paeonia anomala???" Since it got to flowering size I have posted pictures of it annually on the SRGC Forum with comments made that it is P. veitchii and sometimes P. anomola ssp veitchii. Looks a lot like like yours!

David, it looks very similar to mine. My plant also fits the description given by Phillips and Rix in their book on Perennials. However, I have another one very similar but smaller and even more nodding in bud and flower bud with the same spreading habit. It's from seed and I suspect it is a form of veitchii too.

Here are a few photos of peonies in my garden. P. delavayi, mascula, and mlokosewitschii were seed grown.  While still not a very nicely formed flower, P. delavayi is getting better each year.  P. suffruticosa was purchased as a yellow tree peony but turned out to be much, much nicer.  The white hybrid was a named variety but I've lost the name.

David, this is what I think is a P anomala. (From seed 2009) The buds and flowers are more upright than veitchii.

P delavayi is very variable. Here are other forms from seed:

I'm surprised, given the climatic differences, that your peonies seem to be blooming at the same time as mine, Claire and Trond!  

Here are a few from my garden.
Paeonia officinalis is really nice this year:
   

Paeonia intermedia (or so it seems, from a determination over at the SRGC forum):
   

What I have as P. veitchii seems to match yours, Trond and David:
 

P. 'Peter Barr', starting to bloom:
 

And, by the way, Claire, it was such pleasure to see your garden while at the WWS - it was just spectacular!  (And I was also deeply impressed by your perfect recall of every plant's name and history.  Though my memory was never so good as that, I hope to regain what little I had someday!)  Thank you for showing your garden, and it's great to see you here!

Unknown Paeonia... it came as a seedling in the roots of a daylily I ordered long ago.  (I like it a lot more than the daylily!)


P. tenuifolia 'Flore Pleno' again... this weekend has been quite nice and sunny, but it's been so gloomy lately that the flowers seem to have balled somewhat.  Still an eye-catcher though - passersby often ask about this plant.

Mine is very much nodding like your veitchii Trond. The leaves on mine are quite divided too, again like your veitchii. Picture below. I think I'm convinced enough now to amend my label.

Here's my grown from seed Paeonia delavayi. The seed came labelled as P. delavayi forma lutea but I think it has some angustiloba blood in it.
