OUR NURSERY
Preparing the soil for planting.
Some points to remember:
- Never plant a peony in a soggy area or an area which has standing water for any length of time. Your paeonies need a fertile, well-drained soil with a mildly-acid to neutral pH of 6.5-7.
- A minimum of 6 hours of sun is required for good growth on herbaceous and intersectional paeonies. Tree paeonies flourish in the full sun with robust growth, the only disadvantage is the flowers fade very quickly.
- Tree paeonies will grow and flower well in areas with dappled sunlight or partial shade. Growth will be a bit slower than in the full sun, but the flowers will last longer.
- The peony should be planted with the eyes up and roots down. The eyes are the pink or white buds on top of the roots. The peony eyes should not be planted any lower than 2 feet below the soil’s surface. If planted below this, the peony may not bloom.
- Once the peony is properly placed in the hole, backfill the hole with soil. Make sure the roots don’t sink lower than 2 feet below ground level. Water the freshly planted peonies thoroughly.
- Space peony plants 3-4 feet apart to allow them plenty of room to grow
If you plant your paeonies in area with depleted soils, heavy clay soils and/or highly acidic (low pH) soils, never fear, you can still grow beautiful paeonies once you take the proper steps to amend the soil in the new paeony planting area. This means adjusting the soil’s pH to the proper level by adding adequate organic material to deficient soils so that the paeonies will be provided with long-term nourishment.
The first signs of new growth! This is always so exciting when new shoots begin to make their way about the ground. It happens in the middle of June each year, and somehow I am always delighted to see them!
What a lovely day! I will never get sick of these views. Capturing both the moon and a rainbow over the peony fields just makes it even more special!
These flowers are ready for harvest. This is one of the most exciting times of the year for us! Walking up and down these rows at the beginning of harvest sometimes feels a bit like a treasure hunt. We are Looking for those bright pops of colour letting you know they are ready to be picked.

We're stripping off the leaves and making them ready before putting them in the box for shipment.
One of my favourite parts of the year. We often end up with too many flowers to fit in the chiller, especially if we have a very hot, sunny day and the flowers open up too quickly. This means that between being picked in the field and arriving at the shed, they have bloomed. This unfortunately means that we can’t send them out to customers, but sometimes I find myself selfishly glad when this happens as it means I get to keep them for myself.
