Peony question.?

My friend has a Peony. She would like to know why this plant seems to have two different type of leaf and two different type of flower which bloom at different times. Any idea's please.?

Peony question.?
If it is a tree peony then is will probably have been grafted onto a rootstock. The top will die if you leave the 'suckers' from the rootstock on. If it's not a tree peony, then no idea. You need to supply a wee bit more information on this one.
Reply:Sounds like you planted 2 varieties or you planted a hybrid peony seed.
Reply:it doesnt, they are the same just growing.
Reply:I'd agree - the different flowers and leaves are coming from the rootstock. If you don't break of the suckers, the whole plant will revert to the colour of the rootstock
Reply:Sounds like there are two peony planted close to each other.





I have a red Texas Star hibiscus and a pink Hardy hibiscus planted too close together and it looks like it is all one shrub.
Reply:sounds like she has 2 kinds of plants , maybe she got 2 for 1 when she bought it .Which is good for her :) My plants are all the same and only bloom one time .
Reply:I had a similar Siamese twin given to me years ago. I tried one year to separate them and couldn't figure out what was what. Now I have two pink and red clumps - and I can live with that. RScott
