Hi, I'm Polly, and I live up in cold upstate NY, where we get about 200 inches of snow anually.
I was very lucky to have a friend who had to build a retaining wall, and offered me the peonies that were in the area the wall was being built. I don't have IDs on the ones I received, but there were about 20 different cultivars, old and new.
I have since purchased a few named cultivars and species.
The scent just fills the house, I love it.
Thank you for starting this forum. I'm sure I will be a regular.
