Peonies O-P

Species peonies are the darlings of the peony world with their charming and simple flower forms. Early blooming and interesting foliage adds to their garden interest. Supplies of the species are limited and take special care to produce them. To avoid disapointment we recommend you not wait until bloom season to place your order. Our species are always mature divisions, not unproved or unbloomed seedlings that take years to reach bloom size.

Paeonia officinalis rubra plena   (ancient species) The Red Memorial Day Peony of intense brilliant crimson red color cultivated for centuries in Europe is a true antique of great garden value yet today. Plant in full sun in a well drained soil. $22.99 [Add to Cart]

Paeonia officinallis anemoneflora SOLD OUT  (wild species) The anemone form of the species rosy red chalice with an orange-yellow center, 14", very early blooming, creates a spreading mound. A very attractive garden performer and charming rock garden plant. Known for many hundreds of years in Europe it is not often offered and we sell out quickly each time it is offered. As always supplies are limited. $0.00 [Add to Cart]

Paeonia officinallis humilus (wild)  (wild species) Dwarf compact growing form of the species with pink blossoms comes from a more restricted geographic area. The original seed came from France sent by an avid species peony grower there. Very early season bloom. 12” Very limited supply. This has always been a slower grower for us and perhaps in our new location nearly 200 miles further south it will appreciate the longer growing season and richer soil. We hope so as it has been a darling little plant. $28.99 [Add to Cart]

Paeonia peregrina  (wild species) Single vibrant red cupped flower with glossy deep green foliage. This is my number one favorite of all the peony species. 20” Tall. The picture can speak for it better than I can describe it’s brilliant red color. Our original stock came from Germany many years ago and still stops people in their tracks when seeing it blooming alongside our home driveway. It is my personal favorite peony in all the world! $24.99 [Add to Cart]

Paeonia peregrina 'Sunshine'  (selected form of species) (aka Otto Froebel) This is a selected clone of the species used successfully to create our salmon, coral, flamingo or cherry colored hybrids. 20” Easy to please its bright red cup shaped flowers and deep green leaves are a perfect compliment to one another. Used by Saunders and Glasscock to produce many of the most collectable hybrids today. Needs full sun and a well drained soil. $24.99 [Add to Cart]

Paeonia peregrina Banat Region SOLD OUT  (wild species) This group of plants grown from seed collected in Roumania are perhaps my best forms of the species peregrina. Very fertile they have a brilliance that is unbelievable. Single vibrant red cupped flower with glossy deep green foliage. This is my number one favorite of all the peony species. 20” Tall. The picture can speak for it better than I can describe it’s brilliant red color. These are divisions of the plants grown from wild seed and if you order more than one you may get a division from one of the 9 clones that I grew from wild collected seed. The first seedlings to bloom from sibling crosses were just as beautiful as the parents. $0.00 [Add to Cart]

Paeonia tenuifolia Fern Leaf Peony  (wild species) Single form of the fern-leaf peony used in hybridizing and makes a wonderful plant for the sunny rock garden. Much more dainty than the double flowered form at only 12” tall. Must have well drained soil and it will go dormant as early as August and should not be overwatered then. $26.99 [Add to Cart]

Paeonia tenuifolia flore plena Double Fern Leaf Peony   (ancient species) Double fern-leaf peony is scarlet lipstick red and the earliest blooming of the double peonies.

Paeonia veitchii  (wild species) This woodland edge peony has 2 or more flowers per stem of a lovely lavender pink. The blooms often face outward in a wild flower fashion.
