Canadian Peony Society Seed Exchange 2021

The Seed Exchange provides access to peony seeds from hundreds of varieties of peony, including species, lactifloras, hybrids, Itohs and tree peonies. Seed packets are all priced the same but the number of seeds in a packet depends on the number of seeds available and also the size of the seeds. Seeds are also available free of charge to organizations and institutions for educational or research purposes.

Donated seed comes from Society members across Canada and by special arrangement from Whistling Gardens, Waterford, ON, whose peony collection is providing more and more seed as the plants mature. We also have one donor from Finland. Most of the seed is open pollinated. In some cases members have donated specific crosses, either with parents that they think are “good stud” or to ensure species seed is pure, not hybrid. The name of seed or pod parent, or both parents when known is listed each packet.

Seed can be ordered by e-mail or mail. Instructions and pricing are provided on the downloadable seed list.
