What Are Peony Seeds?
Peonies (Paeonia spp.) are among the most beloved perennial flowers in the world, celebrated for their lush, fragrant double blooms and long garden lifespan. Growing peonies from seed is a rewarding journey — each plant is unique, and once established, peonies can bloom for 50+ years with minimal care.
Our collection includes classic garden peonies, rare bicolor varieties, fragrant coral and yellow types, and the graceful bleeding heart peony (Dicentra spectabilis) — all non-GMO, open-pollinated heirloom seeds.
