SNEAK PEEK AT OUR NEW 2018 PEONIES

There’s a new dark red intersectional hybrid peony in the garden that is above all other peonies. Again one of Roger Anderson’s seedlings that is absolutely stunning! May we introduce to you Scarlet Heights! Its blooms soar above the foliage with stems that support the blooms. Red is the hardest color to hybridize in intersectional hybrid peonies. Roger has done it again with this seedling. Oh and by the way, it DOES NOT fade. Truly an outstanding intersectional hybrid peony to consider in your gardens this year.

Very attractive and spectacular to photograph and in a garden. Stay tuned as we countdown to our 2018 website launch. Peppermint Blush is sure to amaze intersectional hybrid peonies collectors as well as gardeners.

SNEAK PEEK AT OUR NEW 2018 PEONIES

As we wait for our 2018 website to launch, thought it would be nice to share some of our new 2018 peonies that we will be offering. Over the next few days, will be highlighting some of our Roger Anderson seedlings. These are the first seedlings to be offered in the US and we are beyond excited to share these with you. In talking with Roger, his goal with some of these seedlings was to hybridize towards smaller plants with smaller sized blooms. Interesting as that is a niche market virtually untouched by other hybridizers. Ok drum roll please…meet Little Jeanne.

Little Jeanne is a herbaceous (garden) peony that is absolutely divine. Plant habitat being on the smaller side will fit nicely in smaller gardens. More information will be available on our website. Stay tuned for more pictures on our 2018 peonies.
