The Nursery

The nursery began with a box of peony roots from China and now there are over 270 different types of peony growing in the nursery field just 12 miles north of Lincoln. Growing the peonies this way produces tough, strong growing plants. There are species peonies, herbaceous and tree peonies which can be seen flowering on our open weekends in June. Because the plants are field grown and not in pots they are sold as bare root plants, supplied in the autumn. Our harvested plants have 3-5 dormant buds or eyes and clean healthy roots. This is the traditional way of growing peonies and I find it is the best way to get a good sized flowering plant. 

Peonies can be single, semi-double or Japanese in form and come in a wide range of colours. Finding the right peony can be difficult and the best way to choose is to see the plants growing side by side.You can come and see the peonies in flower on the open days in June and see the full range of varieties we grow. Peonies are long lived plants so you want to select the right ones for your garden.

There are only a few of the peonies shown on this site so if you are looking for a different variety or just want some advice please use the contact form, email or give me a ring and I will try to help you. There is more information on planting and growing peonies on the' Order and Info' page.
