RIOT OF COLOR WHEN PEONIES ARE IN BLOOM

The peonies are blooming now and what a riot of color and fragrance that is!

Visitors to the farm/gardens are amazed at the beauty they see . The flowers in bloom are indeed gorgeous and a sight to behold.  And for our locals, those who had not visited the farm before were astounded that we have been at this location for over 5 years now and the number of peony varieties planted (over 2,500 peonies).

Blooming days for Peonies

Peony lovers all over the USA, including me, count the days every year when the Peonies are blooming.

 

From May 15 to June 28, Peony Farm is once again opening its farm to the public for the much awaited blooming of the peonies. During this 2 months window, peonies of different blooming periods (there are 7 of them) will be opening 7-10 days apart. This is why some peony lovers choose different varieties in order to enjoy an extended blooming period.

Pink Peonies, Pretty in Pink

One of my favorite things to do when the peonies are done blooming is to go over the photos I’ve taken during the blooming season.

How pretty the pink peonies are. Field of pink peonies, doubles, semi-doubles, and some singles.

Sarah BernhardtKansas row cropped-beautiful-senorita-shrunk15.jpgPeople have asked me time and again, which is my favorite. And as I start the selection process, i realize what an impossible task that is.

I love peonies and there isn’t a single one in my farm that ranks higher than the other. Used to think it’s  Monsieur Jules Elie, then it’s Princess Margaret, now I’m leaning toward Walter Faxon!

Whichever one it is, one thing rings true. Peonies are pretty in Pink. Just ask any peony lover.

Coral Peonies

Coral Charm at Peony FarmI just posted on my facebook page Coral Charm Peony photo.  It is so gorgeous.  And just in case you don’t do facebook, I had to do a blog to make sure you see this outstanding photo of the coral peony growing at the farm.  Didn’t want you to miss out!

Coral Charm peony, on of the coral peonies blooming at the Peony Farm, is outstanding.  Not only in the gorgeous blossoms, but also in stem strength and the length of time it stays in the field.  This is true of Pink Hawaiian Coral as well.  You can choose either one and they are equally outstanding.

Here are some photos for your enjoyment.

Thank heaven for peonies companion plants

The Peonies are Gone!
(click to view the video)

So sad to see the Peony Farm after all the peony blossoms had been deadheaded.   All those gorgeous, beautiful flowers gone.

However, my husband was quick to remind me, that we still have all the peony shrubbery dotting the landscape.  And, fortunately, I planted the entrance beds with peony companion plants such as Nasturtiums, Roses, Lilies,  Hydrangeas, Eremurus, Hebes, Japanese Maple, Irises, Boxwood and other trees.

These are now providing the color for the farm.   Check out the  video created by my sister, Christina.  Click on “The Peonies are gone” above.

By the way,  we are still taking orders for bare root peonies of these lovely scented peonies for shipment this Fall 2014.   You can find a great selection at www.shopilovepeonies.com
