The gorgeous blooms, which are the hallmark of peonies, begin as tight, rounded buds and slowly unfurl to reveal their sweetly scented CID# petals.

We offer 2 different types of peonies: KEY# lactifloras and Itoh Hybrids. Lactiflora peonies are quite common and probably what you found growing in your grandmother’s garden. They can have single or double blooms and many have wonderful fragrance that evokes the charm of times gone by. The heavy blooms can cause the stems to flop, so staking your plants or using a grow-through support is highly recommended. Itoh or Intersectional Hybrids are selections of a cross between tree peonies and herbaceous types. They are endowed with lush green foliage, strong stems that do not require support and an exceptionally floriferous bloom habit. Somewhat rare but easy to grow and positively breathtaking.
