Peonies
Contrary Mary's is excited to offer the following selection of fabulous peonies. AND - very exciting news - our COMPLETE SELECTION of herbaceous peonies (and hostas!) is now available for mail order as bare root plants! Visit our online store for details! We offer 80+ varieties of herbaceous peonies that make a great, low-maintenance, old-fashioned statement for your garden. Plan it right and you can have peonies blooming for a good six weeks! Just plant them in a sunny location in well-drained soil being careful not to site them too deeply (the eyes should be 1½-2” below the soil line.) First year peonies will not be very floriferous as they spend that year getting established, but after that watch out!! Most make an outstanding cut flower, and even after they are done blooming their foliage remains attractive well into fall - most with blazing burgundy color. They really are well-worth devoting some space in your garden to as they are very long-lived, no-brainer plants. They just sit and look pretty without many demands!! Once established they are VERY drought tolerant as they are deeply rooted. In late fall, just “whack” them down to the ground - no maintenance issues here!!
We also offer several varieties of tree peonies. Tree Peonies are truly the royalty of the garden —long ago in ancient China the only person who could actually own a Tree Peony was the Emperor himself! Now you can bring some majesty into your own kingdom by introducing these gems (and I promise I won’t ask to see your Royal License!!) Just remember, they do take a while to achieve their full greatness, but once mature can have a plethora of exquisite blooms that are 10+” across! Come and see our two in the display bed at the Farm and see what I mean! Some more cultural hints:
A “tree” Peony is distinguished from a herbaceous “regular,” bushy peony by a few things:
