Favorite Peonies


I was chatting via e-mail with peony grower Bob Yaremko of Parkland Perennials in Northern Alberta (http://www.parkland-perennials.com) and since he mentioned the peonies are still in bloom there I happened to ask him what his favorite peony was....

Of course politically correct Bob loves all his peonies but especially Jean Ericksen, an anemone type with strong stems, secondary buds and a long blooming season. I am so glad I asked! We are soon coming up to Peony planting season and Bob sells by mail order so his website is worth a look. His prices are truly reasonable and plants have arrived in excellent shape in the past.
