It was only after opening the packet of seeds that I learned that it might take 5 years to see them bloom!!! Isn't that a bit of a joke on us, really???

Description
Paeonia 'Rockii Mixed' is a highly sought-after peony bearing large flowers composed of tissue paper petals, sometimes speckled with dark burgundy at their bases. It is incredibly generous and breathtakingly beautiful!
If peonies are so appreciated in our gardens, it is because of their opulence, longevity and robustness. Like the genus, the 'Rockii Mixed' variety displays a remarkable flowering from April to May, with flowers measuring up to 25 cm (10in) in diameter. White, yellow, salmon, light pink, and dark pink are offered here.
Originating from China and belonging to the Paeoniaceae family, the bush peony distinguishes itself from herbaceous peonies, which disappear in winter, by the woody nature of its stems. It is a hardy bush, at least down to -15°C (5°F), reaching a height of 1.5 metres (5 feet) at maturity.
The peony thrives in regions with distinct winters, as the cold stimulates the formation of its buds but dislikes spring frost that can damage them. Therefore, you should plant it in a sheltered spot, away from the wind, in full light or partial shade. Its generosity is also due to its appetite, at least during the first few years. We recommend regular additions of well-rotted compost and mulching around its base.
In the garden, the peony is ideal for a romantic flower bed alongside hardy geraniums, catmints, and roses. It is also charming and holds up well in bouquets.
Growing a peony from seed is not complicated, but it is slow and involves several stages. Your patience will be rewarded after 5 to 7 years with the appearance of the first flowers.

Planting and care
The germination of peony seeds can be slow and irregular, but your perseverance will be rewarded.
Upon receiving your Paeonia 'Rockii Mixed' seeds, place them in a plastic bag (such as a freezer) containing slightly damp sand or vermiculite. Seal the bag and place it in a location protected from direct sunlight, in a warm area around 21°C (69.8°F). For three months, the root system of your Peony will begin to develop. Once it reaches a length of 2.5 cm (1in), move your bags to a much cooler location, around 5°C (41°F), for 10 to 12 weeks.
Regularly monitor the development of your plants: as soon as the shoots appear, remove them from the bag and transfer them to pots. The growth should occur in a cool location until your plant is well established. Gradually acclimate it to the conditions of the garden.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
