Bill Seidl garden named this plant ‘Just Peachy’ eight years ago, after it had been growing in his garden for some 30 years.  His interest in hybridizing herbaceous peonies took a break for an extended period. Just Peachy, along with numerous others were allowed to grow into very large clumps.  He realized that a renewed interest in peonies was building and discovered he had many hidden gems.  Around 2000 the internet became more accessible and Bill began to frequent forums and correspond with other enthusiasts.  He enjoyed the communications and this helped him to realize the treasures in his garden.   Just Peachy is a good example of Bill’s renewed interest due to his ability to correspond with others through electronic media.  He truly enjoyed the many new friends that he made through the many emails and forums that the internet afforded.  Just Peachy was a plant that Bill believed had a large upside to hybridizing and would be a great garden plant for the peony enthusiast.
