Good selection still available.
Shipping available in Canada.

Here is the peony root list and pricing.
They are expected the week of October 13th, leaving lots of time to plant these beauties before their long winter's nap.
2" under good draining soil in full sun and 50-60 years of enjoyment.
That is an awesome rate of return.

Pre-orders can be secured by e-transfer.

If you have pm in the last week or so, I will pull your orders first for pick up.

The farm is now getting ready to hibernate and the winterizing of the beds will soon commence.
Are you missing your cut flowers already?
Have you started dreaming of the beautiful gardens you are going to create in 2026?

Let me help you.
Great as a Christmas Gift (hint, hint) or as a fabulous saver-of-the-wallet.
In November I will be launching the
ROSE LOVERS CLUB MEMBERSHIP CARD 2026.

Here is what the card covers:
$10.00 off each fancy Narcissus cut-your-own bouquet.
(I just planted 900 bulbs to the already 200 in the cutting garden).
$10.00 off each spectacular peony cut-your-own bouquet.
(320 planted and counting)
2 free $20.00 seasonal cut-flower bouquets by pre-order request between June and October.

I wish you nothing but outstanding garden success and congratulations for your personal sanctuaries.

Thank you for supporting small, local flower growers who are sustainable and environmentally conscientious, endeavouring to provide for their communities and themselves in an beneficial manner.

You help keep me housed, fed and with utilities as a self-employed specialty micro-farm.

With gratitude,
Lisa

My last farmers' market day.
Late season bouquets and baskets of peony roots.

10/25/2025

Today's workout:
900 bulbs planted for the cut-your-own garden for Spring 2026, 105 peony roots inventoried and tagged and sorted into baskets, 3 rose bushes planted,6 Halloween wreaths made and 5 buckets of flowers harvested and conditioning for the last Codrington Farmers' Market of the season for me tomorrow.
If I am standing hunched over like my best Baba Yaga image, this would be why.

Last chance for $25.00 rosebushes for the season before they go into winter storage.

Coral Charm Peony.
This large, cup-shaped semi-double flowers emerge as a deep-persimmon colour and blooms out to coral-cream.
Fragrance is mild.
An herbaceous perennial not to be missed.
Blooms late.
(Wissing, 1964). Heirloom
A wonderful compliment to Coral Sunset and King's Day.

Zones 4-8

Limited quantities.

$30.00

An early season bloom to get peony season off to a smouldering start.
Coral Sunset has large semi-double blossoms open to a saturated salmon color before maturing to warm salmon-ivory hues.
Lightly scented.
This early-spring garden treasure is a wonderful choice for cutting as it's 32" stems tend to arch to the ground when fully unfurled, so staking is recommended.
A MUST for the cutting garden.
(Wissing, 1965). Heirloom.
A proven perennial gem.

Zones 3-8
Limited quantities available.
$35.00

Red Sarah Bernhardt Peony.
Outstanding scent and huge flowers that are fully-double, reddish-pink/fucshia/purplish-red flowers.
This peony makes an excellent cut-flower and also attracts butterflies and hummingbirds to the late-spring garden.
Deer resistant.
"An unfortunate naming by its Chinese originator as this peony in no way resembles the popular pink 'Sarah Bernhardt'.

Limited quantites.
$30.00 per 3/5 eyed root.

The double, soft creamy-white blossoms of 'Mother's Choice' are breathtaking! Very refined, with a warm shell-pink blush, and heavenly fragrance set this selection above most other whites in the late-season peony bed.
It is also quite attractive in bud.
Great for wedding bouquets or just because.
Blooms late mid-season. (Glasscock, 1950). Heirloom.

Zones 3-8

Limited stock available.
$45.00 3/5 eyed roots.

10/25/2025

Sometimes you just want something sultry, fragrant and moody in a bouquet.
Peter Brand ticks all of those boxes.
Peter Brand is an older peony that has fully-double, deep-red,
6-inch blooms that change to purple-red as they mature.
It is a long-blooming variety having sturdy 36" stems that often will not need to be staked.
Peter Brand does well as a cut-flower in vases and bouquets and comes with a heady, spicy fragrance.
Blooms in the mid-season. (Brand, before 1937). Heirloom.
Limited quantities available.
$40.00 per 3/5 eyed roots.

Take a look at the stunning King's Day Peony.
This is a semi-double, salmon-orange hybrid with beautiful 7" pastel blooms, flowering mid-season.
Still difficult to find even though it was introduced in 2019.
I have a limited quantity of this gorgeous peony at $50.00 per root.
Plant now and enjoy for 50-60 years.
