Projected Intersectional Peony Bloom
Intersectional Peonies extend the peony bloom, flowering alongside mid- to late-blooming herbaceous peonies. Not all the buds open at once. Instead, they tend to have 2 or 3 flushes of flowers, with waves of bloom that last for 2 to 3 weeks. It is not uncommon to have a seed pod forming on a plant that still has buds waiting to open. These plants are not fertile, and therefore will not produce viable seeds. They provide the much-loved yellow color that is rare in herbaceous peonies. Kathleen’s favorite is Don Hollinsworth’s creation, the Garden Treasure cultivar.
Note this is our best guess for the timing of the bloom. Warm weather will speed it up, cool with extend it, rain and wind can change it overnight, and a sunny day can make everything pop. Some days will have thousands of flowers in bloom and others will not.
May
24
to Jun 3
Projected PEAK Herbaceous Bloom
The peak herbaceous bloom coincides with the Classic Herbaceous Peony Bloom, known as Lactiflora peonies. The Lactiflora group is both the latest blooming and the most prolific classification of herbaceous peonies. These are the show-stopping, classic, old fashioned, fragrant, and incredibly floriferous herbaceous cultivars which, as a species, boast up to five flowers per stem. They create luscious, multi petaled blousy blooms that are known as quintessential peonies. With varying degrees of magenta pigment, Lactiflora peonies bloom in colors ranging from snow white to deep burgundy. This allows for easy garden design, as the colors of different cultivars blend effortlessly without clashing, since true reds, corals, and yellows don’t present. Our Grandma Peony Pack in our online peony catalog includes only the pinks & whites in this group, and our Cut Flower Pack contains the white, pinks and magentas. Cultivars in both packs make fabulous cut flowers and give that classic look. Their fragrance will bring back memories of childhood.
Note this is our best guess for the timing of the bloom. Warm weather will speed it up, cool with extend it, rain and wind can change it overnight, and a sunny day can make everything pop. Some days will have thousands of flowers in bloom and others will not.

to May 27
Projected True Red Herbaceous Peony Bloom
True red herbaceous peonies are rare. Oftentimes, you think you have found a true red, but it turns out to be magenta! However, a wonderful set of true-red herbaceous hybrids does exist. They tend to be early- to mid-blooming. Some notable cultivars to look for include Red Charm, Henry Bockstoce, Many Happy Returns, and Red Grace.
Note this is our best guess for the timing of the bloom. Warm weather will speed it up, cool with extend it, rain and wind can change it overnight, and a sunny day can make everything pop. Some days will have thousands of flowers in bloom and others will not.

to May 28
Projected Coral Herbaceous Peony Bloom
Another early-blooming group of hybrids is the coral group, a special subset of herbaceous peonies that is a hybrid between Peregrina & Lactiflora. Their sturdy stems make them both excellent cut flowers and garden plants, as they remain upright without staking. Perfect for a southern garden, early-blooming, wonderful to plant en masse. Two Cultivars to look for include Coral Charm and Coral sunset. Once the flowers open, they fade dramatically, making this a wonderful selection for en-masse planting. The entire colorway presents simultaneously as this group blooms.
