Silently, without much fanfare, a revolution has occurred within the genus Paeonia. Numerous new cultivars in the form of advanced generation hybrids, species selections and creative new crosses have slowly found their way into connoisseur gardens and collections. Relatively unknown to the gardening world, these remarkable cultivars are creating new possibilities and a greater understanding of the peony. Yet many gardeners are unaware of the revolution now in progress.
Extremely long-lived perennials, most peonies seen in today’s gardens are from a bygone era. Due to their enduring beauty, these older plants remain entrenched despite a spectrum of superior new options that are vigorous, unique and better suited for our climate. From stunning cut-flower varieties to showy landscape winners to rare and remarkable tree peonies, the next generation of Paeonia is changing the old gardening order.
Join Nate Bremer as he outlines a “road map” to the many new cultivars, their garden use, culture, genetic backgrounds, characteristics and much more. You’ll explore the peony’s silent journey to the 21st Century and experience a visual bonanza featuring some of the peony world’s most sought-after plants.
