This very rare variety can be distinguished from the more widespread P. officinalis by its cupped flowers . The species is heavily protected by law in its isolated sites in Southern France - so NO digging or picking! But you can legally grow the seed! Flowers Similar to P. officinalis except the petals are deeply cup shaped. Blooms in May and June. Leaves Has 17-30 narrow leaflets, sometimes partly divided, with tiny bristles along the main veins above, hairy beneath. Habitat Bushy areas and grassy scrub...

These Poppies are spectacular. Fully double they grow in many soft colours to 3 feet tall. We love Poppies. Not because they make great cut flowers, I think Martha Stewart is the only person who can singe the stem to lock the water in, but because they are so easy to establish in the garden. You direct seed them and let the pods, which are beautiful in themselves, ripen. They will reseed. You can have fun with poppies.

Native to China. White Pheonix is incredibly beautiful, perhaps the more so because it takes so much time and skill to grow it from seed to flower. I am hoping that the photo of the flower as it grows in my garden will inspire more people to undertake the challenge. Although the seed really does take a long time to come up (one to two years), it is a very robust germinator (falling into the self-generated class of "volcanic germinators") it is quite reliable. After the wait, its always a surprise...

These fully double blooms are violet-purple in color and grow up to 4 1/2 inches in diameter. The multiple stems are very strong and create a very special effect in garden boarders. Use as a hardy annual, and cut the blooms for beautiful fresh or dried bouquets.

Peony poppies are very easy to grow, very satisfying flowers that cheer-up and add spark to even the most bland of gardens. They are planted in fall or early spring and produce huge double 4-5 inch deeply frilled flowers on sturdy, tall growing 2-3 foot plants.

Herbaceous perennial. Native to China and Japan. Hardy to - 30 degrees F but not particularly heat tolerant, so give shade if your summers are very hot (e.g. TEXAS). This is a wild-derived strain of Peony found naturally in forests and forest margins in the mountain valleys of Hebei, Shaanxi, and several other Chinese and Japanes provinces. I find that these are a dependable show plant here at horizon herbs. The deeply palmately lobed leaves are stunning, and the bright red single flowers with...

Comments: Very reliable bloomer, easy to grow, fast growing and blooming. Two year old plants will likely bloom next year after planting (rare for a tree peony) Bloms face upwards, floating like silk on top of the leaves, single 8" flowers, sweetly fragrant. Some blooms have a faint pink tint when first opening, quickly changing to pure white, grow to 4-5' tall at 8-10 years maturity.

Herbaceous perennial. Native to China and Japan. Hardy to -30 degrees F but not particularly heat tolerant, so give shade if your summers are very hot (e.g. TEXAS). The plant likes full sun to part shade and well-drained garden soil. The dried root pieces are used in Chinese medicine to soothe the liver, generally in combination with Bupleurum. Sow seeds anytime in gallon pots, about an inch deep (the seeds are large). Germination is usually in the first spring after overwintering, but will...
