I love how tall the stems grow. I don't know how my dad did it but he transplanted them from a friend. I'm hoping to get some in the pink variety for next year.

Must have been all the rain? We live on a century farm here and the peony poppies were here 50 years ago from our Aunt. We are in the process of saving seeds and willing to share with you. We also took photos this year and can email you a few pictures. Look forward to hearing from you Kathy,

I doubt you will find plants for sale anywhere. Chris, they don’t transplant well at all, so everyone grows them from seed sown directly in the garden.

My father suggested we just let things grow the first year to see what came up ... what a surprise. Glad to have found someone else dealing with cooler climes.
