PEONIES
Peonies offer gorgeous long lasting blooms in May that we can
not imagine
being without. Their beautiful foliage serves as a backdrop to
later
blooming flowers. Herbaceous peonies are extremely hardy and once
planted
in the fall can remain for years in your garden. Many peonies are
very
good for enjoying indoors as long lasting cut flowers. Herbaceous
hybrid peonies are noted for their brilliance in color, early bloom
time and excellent foliage. Several of our
selections have won American Peony Society Gold Medals (GM).
Peonies are
shipped late September and October. Hardy zones 2-8, with some
exceptions as peonies like cool winters.
CUT FLOWERS available at the garden during bloom season which usually runs
April 15 to June 1 depending on the weather. Cut peony blooms are $2.50 per stem. Telephone for availability.
