Limited Edition Peony List

Doon't miss the chance to order many of these rare varieties in short supply. Most of these peonies are found only at specialty growers like Hidden Spings Flower Farm and bring something unique to your perennial garden. Peonies listed in this section change throughout the season and many sell out early in the ordering season. Peonies on the Limited Edition List are truely limited to 5 or less in stock and it is not a gimmick to get you to purchase them. While we have one of the largest offerings of peonies on the web our supplies are not limitless. We encourage you to place an order early to reserve your plants. We update the list as items on the regular pages fall to below 5 plants. Some items that sell out on this list will not be available the next 3 seasons as they shift to our propagation fields this fall and spend the time growing in size before they can be harvested again.

Paeonia officinalis rosea plena  (ancient cultivated species 1613) This pink double flowered form of the Memorial Day peony has exceptional color and form on compact plants which at maturity will be about 4 feet across. Found throughout Europe in the wake of old monasteries where they were cultivated in medicinal gardens for centuries this species still adorns our gardens today. For those seeking doubleness in their hybrid peonies this has been a successful fertile seed producer but requires that you help the process along by applying the pollen to the stigma as it is normally concealed from the bees by the many extra petals. Known to be tolerant of warm climates it is a good choice for those wanting to experiment in more southern locations where the regular peony is more challenging to grow. $24.95 [Add to Cart]
