In the south, we cannot grow the large variety of lactiflora peonies that you can in the north, but we can grow a few special lactifloras plus the Tree peonies, Itoh hybrids, and woodland Japanese peonies, so we cannot complain too much...we have plenty of peonies for sale.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003ePeonies are long-lived hardy perennials with huge 5-10 inch wide flowers that come in a wide range of colors from the traditional white peony, pink peony and red peony to the giant-flowered yellow peony (Bartzella) that will leave you drooling. No matter the color, peonies attract butterflies. They are great deer-resistant, pass-along plants...after a few years, your clump will be large enough to divide and share with friends.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eOur trials for heat-tolerant peonies for the southern US have provided some amazing results and provided us with a great collection of heat tolerant peony plants for sale. Not only are some of the wild peony species proving to be well-adapted, but several of the peony cultivars, even those with Paeonia lactiflora bloodlines, are doing amazingly well, as are the fabulous itoh peony hybrids (herbaceous peonies x tree peonies - read more about them below).\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eWe also carry the charming woodland peony species (aka Japanese Peonies, Paeonia japonica and Paeonia obovata) for those who want peonies for shady spots. We will continue to expand our listing of peonies for sale with new plants from our trials. We only sell large size peonies, in active growth and we start with large peony rhizomes containing 3-5 eyes. Compare that to the paltry 1-2 eyes on the dried up bare root peonies that our competitors sell.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003ePeony types:\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003ch4\u003eItoh Peony\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eItoh Peonies (Traditional Peony x Tree Peony) have become very popular in the last few years, although they were first created in the 1940's (by \u003ca title=\"Read The Guardian article about Toichi Itoh, opens in new window\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/lifeandstyle\/2022\/mar\/27\/james-wong-on-gardens-miraculous-itoh-peonies-are-a-joy-to-behold\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eToichi Itoh\u003c\/a\u003e, a Japanese peony breeder) and were not available to gardeners until the mid-1970's. They combine the cold hardiness and flower power of the standard herbaceous peony with the bright colors and large flower size of the tree peony.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe tree peony parent contributes some really fantastic flower colors like the incredible yellow peony 'Bartzella', which always sells out for us. Whenever our customers see the giant yellow flowers of Bartzella peony in our Raleigh garden they run to the greenhouse and grab as many as they can for their own garden.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eAlso called Intersectional peonies, they come in a wide variety of colors and have become favorites now that breeders have expanded the selections and nurserymen have perfected the propagation and growing of these gems.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eGrowing itoh peonies is a lot like the traditional herbaceous peony...rich soil, full sun, do not over water in winter. In the fall cut off the dead foliage, but leave the stems at about 1.5' tall. Then when the buds break in spring, you can cut back the stems to the topmost bud. Itoh peonies prefer sweet soil over acidic so if you live in an area like Raleigh that traditionally has acid soil, perform a soil test and add some lime if needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch4\u003eJapanese Peony\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eWhen we talk about the Japanese Peony here at Plant Delights, we mean P. japonica and P. obovata, the species peonies that are native to northern Japan and prefer shaded woodland conditions. This is not to be confused with the Japanese Peony flower form...one of the six peony flower forms of lactiflora peonies (Single, Japanese, Anemone, Semi-Double, Double, Bomb-Double), or the Japanese Tree Peony, which is a group of tree peonies hybridized in Japan.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eNow that we have cleared that up, let's talk about how to grow a \u003cem\u003ereal\u003c\/em\u003e Japanese Peony. Part shade or morning sun followed by shade, and rich woodland soil that gets regular water and is well drained.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eAnd why grow a Japanese peony? Because it provides garden interest in both spring and fall. The large single white (P. japonica) or pink (P. obovata) flowers contrasted with bright yellow stamens and red stigmas in spring are followed in autumn by seed pods that split open to reveal a stunning bright red interior that supports large blue-black or scarlet-red seeds. In early spring, the new foliage is also novel, emerging with a pink-burgundy color. For those with deer-issues, this is a good plant...quite deer resistant.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch4\u003eLactiflora Peony \/ Herbaceous Peony Bush\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eWhen most people buy peonies, this is the one they get. Traditional peony cultivars are favorites in the garden with their huge spring flowers in a wide variety of bright colors like pink, yellow, red and white. The familiar herbaceous peony plant grows best in the northern US, but here in the south there are some wonderful heat tolerant lactiflora peony plants for sale. These are typically the early blooming cultivars.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch4\u003eTree Peony\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e(Paeonia ostii, P. suffruticosa and others) Tree peonies tend to grow well in the south, but are sometimes hard to find. Ostii peonies grow quickly and produce dozens of flowers when mature...looking like a giant lactiflora peony. Suffruticosa peonies grow very slowly but have gigantic flowers. Near the northern end of their hardiness range, tree peonies may die back to the ground and their stems may stay somewhat herbaceous.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eDon't forget to check out our many \u003ca title=\"blog entries about peonies\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.jlbg.org\/tag\/peonies-for-sale\/\"\u003eblog entries about peonies\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"paeonia-japonica-japanese-woodland-peony","title":"Paeonia japonica","description":"\u003cp\u003eUnlike many of its more common and gaudy cousins, this demure woodland Japanese peony makes an 18\" tall x 18\" wide clump with grey-green foliage.
