Herbaceous Peonies

Utterly Dependable...A Joy Every Year

One of the timeless delights of late spring and early summer, peonies become like old friends, utterly dependable and a joy to greet each year.

From the moment the red shoots appear in late winter through the swelling of the flower buds, the explosion of flowering itself, through to the colourful autumn foliage, peonies have a worthy place in any garden. The following is a selection of some of the best garden worthy cultivars.

Bare root peonies are shipped from October through to the end of March. A smaller selection of container-grown peonies are available all year round.

We have a large selection of pot grown peonies available in our Plant Centre, and plants can also be taken to collect from the Gardeners World Live flower show.

Flowering periods

All our flowering periods relate to “middle England”, but please bear in mind that flowering can be earlier or later in other parts of the country, in additional to being seasonally variable so please only take as a rough guide to getting a successional display of flowers. Remember also that the flower colour appears on the bud often 2-3 weeks before the flower actually opens, so the season of colour is around 6 weeks!

• Early: First 3 weeks of June
• Mid: 2-4th week of June
• Late 3rd week June to 1st week of July
