For early spring plantings we market large quantities of Peony roots. It seems that each year more and 
more Peonies are being planted during the spring planting season. We are prepared to take care of a good 
lively demand this spring. Our plants are young and contain the full amount of vitality as we do not market 
cut flowers. Therefore, when you purchase our Peonies, you are assured of receiving maximum results. It is 
important however that you make an early spring planting.
