What are Herbaceous Peonies?
Hybridizers began hybridizing various species of peonies to create hybrid peonies. Hybridizers are experts at creating new varieties of plants with varying flower color and characteristics. Often, hybrids maintain their beautiful colors in the garden when many lactifloras fade in the garden. Lactifloras and hybrids have very similar plant habits and both are cut to the ground in fall for dormancy in fall.

Some of our favorite hybrids include:

Coral Sunset
Etched Salmon
Lorelei
Red Charm
Lois' Choice
and many more!
