Our Peony Garden

We began as a tall bearded iris grower but because of the great interest that our visitors had in our collection of herbaceous peonies, in 2002 we began offering herbaceous peonies too. The demand for our new nursery products increased and in 2006 we started to import tree peonies from China to the delight of our many customers. Now with 200 varieties of herbaceous and tree peonies growing, we offer mature 3-9 eye divisions of herbaceous peonies in 5 gal. containers and 2-4 year tree peonies any time of the year at the garden or for shipping bare root only in the fall.  We provide cut-your-own fresh flowers here at the garden only during our peak bloom season in May-June. It is quite spectacular when our garden is in bloom with over 1000 peony plants.
