About Us

Kelways has been a prominent name in British Horticulture since 1851 when it was established by James Kelway in the quiet country town of Langport on the Somerset Levels.

It is famously known for peonies and irises, and the nursery has been exhibiting at the Chelsea Flower Show for over 100 years. Kelways Peony Valley is known all over the world by the hundreds of visitors who come to see it each June.

The nursery is also known for a much wider range of plants including hardy ferns and roses. An extensive mail order business and a delightful Plant Centre operate from the site at Langport, with friendly and knowledgable staff.
