About Intersectional Peonies

Intersectional peonies are the result of crossing two different species of peony. Our intersectionals are the result of crossing tree peony (lutea species- it’s kind of like a woody shrub) with herbaceous peonies (lactiflora- like the ones grandma grew). The resulting plants combine the best qualities of their parents:

• They are zone 4 hardy perennials. These will grow anywhere the herbaceous peonies (like the ones grandma grew) are grown.
  
  
• They are vigorous growers.
  
  
• New vibrant colors unavailable before in the peony family.
  
  
• Strong, sturdy stems hold the flowers upright.
  
  
• Larger flowers; up to 10 inches across.
  
  
• Side buds which extend bloom time.
  
  
• Many varieties are fragrant.
  
  
• Foliage stays green and lush until frost.
  
  
• After a hard freeze, foliage can be cut down as they will regrow next spring from underground eyes.
