How to Grow Peonies From Seed 
Plant the seed early in the fall soon after it ripens, about 
an inch deep and two or three inches apart, in a good loam 
soil. Most of them will sprout the following spring. Trans¬ 
plant these plants when two years old, and they will come 
into bloom in two or three years from this time. 
You never know what color or type of Peony you will 
get but it is lots of fun growing them, and your efforts will 
be greatly repaid.
