I would like to know when/how people know what roots they will have available
for the CPS root sale before the August newsletter?
When the request is sent out for root donations members look at their plants and decide if they have a root they would like to give to the sale. They should be large enough for 3-5 eyes. Of course there is no way to know this until it is dug up. Once you have decided to donate you send me the name and how many
divisions you think you may have. (eg I have three plants in the garden and would like to give one away. I would donate this root and offer 1 root. When it is dug up I may have two roots and would then inform the organizer in case they have more than one request. If you have a plant with 10-15 stems on it
you would likely get 3 good sized divisions. Until you dig the root it is really just an educated guess to how many roots you will have.)
Are they predicting what they will be digging?
Yes they are predicting what might be.
Have they already dug? To my knowledge no
one has dug these roots.
Are they donating peonies already potted up from their nursery
businesses??? All roots are bare and we only have a few
roots that come from nurseries. Surprisingly most of our roots come from the
members gardens. All roots are shipped bare root and not in pots.
What would happen, for example, if I promised some pieces to the root sale,
but upon digging, I found that there were not enough pieces?
If you offered a root of say “Pink Hawaiian Coral” to the sale and
then for whatever reason was unable to donate it. Contact me and I remove it
from the list. If someone has bid on it and there is time I would contact the
bidders and give them the option to bid on something else. If there was no time
to inform the bidders I would just leave it and inform them when the sale was
over that the root had been pulled. ( since no one but myself and the donor
knows where the root is coming from the donor should not feel guilty)
One year I had several roots offered from one donor but
when the roots were dug up they had root gall. We never knowingly offer diseased roots and these were pulled from the sale with apologies to those who bid on them. So
there is only a promise of a root because you never know what will happen once
you dig them up.
What are the Mystery Plants offered in the Root Sale?
These peonies are offered by nursery friends and members alike who have roots they cannot identify. Take a chance and you pay $25.00 for something that could have cost you more.
Some members are not sure about digging up
there roots, the way to guess at what they can offer or may not want to dig up their roots but still want to participate so they will purchase a
root from a nursery and donate that.
The Canadian Peony Society will accept any donation for roots with
no strings. If you can give us a root we greatly appreciate it and if not that’s okay
too.
This year we have a varied selection to entice you. Please take a moment to look over the list, it may surprise you. You could find that one root for that special spot in the garden.
