| Paeonia veitchii. P. veitchii. is one of my favorite species, with its gracefully nodding flowers, great color, and rose shaped buds. This seed comes from a number of different clones, ranging in color from pale pink to magenta. The flower size is small (less than 3" in diameter), and the bushes are compact. Give it a try! |

| Paeonia peregrina One of the cleanest red in the peony world, and a super bright spot in the garden. If you are used to muddy purple reds, try growing peregrina. It is an excellent choice for hybridizing red peonies.

| Paeonia emodi. P. emodi is another wonderful species. This seed comes from plants grown from seed collected in the wild (Himalayas). It has pure white flowers and very nice foliage. P emodi was used by A.P. Saunders as one of the parents of White Innocence, Early Windflower, and Late Wind Flower, and it is a great candidate for hybridizing. |

| Paeonia cambessedesii A true gem - beautiful clear pink flowers on a dwarf plant with beautiful foliage. A european species of uncertain hardiness - some sources list it as a zone 7 plant, but it grows well in my zone 6 garden. Seed very limited.

| Paeonia mlokosewitschi. Perhaps one of the most sought after peony species, undoubtedly due to its beautiful primrose yellow flowers. Martin Page describes it in his book, "The gardeners Guide to Growing Peonies", as "probably one of the most beautiful plants that can be grown in the garden". I find it easy to grow, and always draws garden visitors, particularly those that aren't familiar with yellow peonies. |

| Paeonia anomala. This species thrives in my sandy soil, and never fails to put on a show. It is similar in appearance to P veitchii, but it has larger flowers and the plant is much taller, reaching three feet in height. Parent plants were grown from wild collected seed. |

| Paeonia mairei. A species that is not widely known or grown; the seed I am offering comes from plants collected in China that I have been growing at the nursery for over five years. It is one of the earliest peonies to bloom, and provides a great splash of color in the early garden. It grows and blooms well even in fairly heavy shade, making it a natural for the woodland garden. It is quickly becoming one of my favorite peonies. Quantities limited.

| Paeonia coriacea. A peony that hails from Southern Spain and Morocco, it requires a sunny position and well drained soil. A.P. Saunders successfully crossed P. coriacea with P. lactiflora. One of the resulting hybrids, Lavender, is one of the most beautifully colored herbaceous hybrids. A cross well worth repeating... |

| Paeonia delavayi A tree/shrubby species, with dark red nodding flowers. It is not as flamboyant as most of the tree peony hybrids, but it is very elegant and graceful. It grows five feet tall in my garden, with a spreading habit. A very nice garden plant.

| Paeonia wittmanniana var nudicarpa An early blooming plants with large pale yellow blooms. The flowers aren't as intensely yellow as P. mlokosewitschi, but yellow none the less. The large green leaflets are much more stately than that of P. mlokosewitschi, and a better plant for the garden. Martin Page calls P wittmanniana a "very underrated plant". Parent plants were grown from wild collected seed. |

| Paeonia potaninii var. trolloides One of my favorite plants in the garden, regardless of genus. It is a 18-24 inch tall shrubby species, with bright, daffodil yellow flowers. It spreads via underground stems, forming large mats in the garden. A real gem! I obtained the parent plant under this name from Reath's Nursery, but most now include it under P delavayi.
