Why Peonies in Dallas?

Common belief is that Peonies don’t grow in Dallas. But, with the proper care and selection, they actually do amazingly well. Luckily for the lazy gardener, Peonies don’t require much care. They are very winter hardy and drought resistant. They can often be found at old cemeteries because they are so carefree and can live up to 75 years – which is a long time for a perennial. Peonies have a bitter taste which keeps them from becoming a snack to wildlife and helps ensure longevity in rural areas. Peonies also make a great cut flower so you can enjoy their beautiful blossoms indoors. You have your choice of several flower types in a variety of colors. Right now we have a great selection with more expected within the next week or so.
