A CHANCE TO EXPERIENCE THE DIFFERENT GROWING HABITS, COLOURS, FLOWERS AND SCENTS.

All peony and flower lovers are welcome! Feel free to wander through our flower fields and enjoy the beauty that peonies have to offer. We grow up to 300 varieties of herbaceous and Itoh peonies in our fields, which are within walking distance of the main farm buildings and also are accessible by sturdy buggies! Sturdy footwear is recommended in case it rains, as our beautiful loamy soil tends to stick when wet.

Peony plants

The perfect time to shop or make your wish list. In our small nursery we offer a selection of peonies in 7L | 1.8-gallon pots. First come first served!

If your dream peony is still growing in our fields, no worries. The varieties listed in our catalogue are available as bare root plants in the autumn. We can send your order or you can collect on site. Orders can be placed at the farm or via our online shop.

Peony Bouquets

We grow many different varieties of cut flowers peonies. Beautiful, old-fashioned beauties and daring newcomers. They are available to collect from the farm during the opening hours. What could be better in spring than a bouquet of peonies fresh from the fields!

We are NOT an U-pick farm.

Please contact us in advance if you need large quantities.
