Hello Louise,
Please advise your Mum to collect the seeds while fresh and not allow them
to dry out severely. Storage is not good for Peony seed. Sow the seeds in a
marked spot in the garden and they should germinate next spring. If you are
using pots, sow in sterile medium and place in the cold frame to winter
over. Cover the pots with some type of screening as mice and small rodents
consider these the finest of table fare.
If you have more than one tree peony your results will not be the same as
the original when the plant gets old enough to flower. Patience is required
for growing peony from seed.
I will be collecting seeds from all of my fancy herbaceous and tree peony
seeds again this year. if you are interested check out the seeds section on
the web site in a month or so.
