The Peony Patch
My flower farm holds the largest collection of Peonies within day-trip distance of Sydney. From 2024 my collection will include more than 2,000 plants across more than 30 varieties. Peony plants take many years to fully establish. Fresh Peony flowers will be available in Spring 2024 only through IGA Moss Vale and Blooms of Bowral. From 2025 onwards I expect to make fresh Peonies available for both florists (wholesale) and direct to the public (retail), as well as opening the Peony Patch for farm experiences. I do not plan to sell Peony roots/plants, as this sets the plants flowering back by a number of years. I recommend Red Earth Bulbs (retail) and Drewitts Bulbs (wholesale) for anyone wanting to add Peonies to their garden or farm. Subscribe below to be notified of Peony release information.
The life of my Peony dream so far..
My Peony Patch began when I started the flower farm, with a timeline fit for a flower addict:
2019 - planted a few
2020 - planted 30 more
2021 - 'needed' 500 more, so the Peonies became part of the main patch
2022 - we were impacted by major flooding and lost 2/3 of them, so I replanted nearly 1,000 more during the farm rebuild
2023 - I am so in love with my Peonies that have flowered this season that plans are in progress to expand my collection, with a dedicated (rather large) Peony Patch holding a collection of more than 2,000 plants across 30 different varieties, to be completed in 2024
2024 - the final 1,200 Peonies will be planted in Autumn, with flowers expected from a small portion of the existing patch in Spring.
2025/6 - I expect to release a broad range of fresh Peonies in season and open the Peony Patch for beautiful farm experiences!
The Peony Patch will then increase in production and beauty every year it matures.
