Have PEONIES - photos

gottagarden
13 years ago

I have tons of peonies. They are overcrowded and I will be dividing as soon as the snow melts and the ground thaws. Probably early April. I'm trying to set up trades now, cause I'm pretty busy outside then. These peonies will be BIG clumps with many eyes. I have too many right now, so I won't be skimpy. But I would like something nice in exchange. Would prefer other peonies, even small starts, but am open.

I am looking for peonies that I don't have, just ask. I have a lot of peonies that are not ready for dividing yet. I have other peonies not pictured here that I could trade for other new peonies.

If you are farther south, your peonies will come up earlier, and will need to be mailed earlier.

Have:

Dancing Butterflies

Karl Rosenfeld

Festiva Maxima

Sarah Bernhardt

nippon beauty or barrington belle

All photos are from my garden, so this definitely what you would get.

Just half of the driveway peony bed:

Dancing Butterflies is my first peony to bloom, 10 days before other peonies. It blooms at the same time as iris, so is my favorite peony to partner with iris.

Sarah Bernhardt has a rose-powder fragrance, very old fashioned

These are either Barrington Belle or Nippon Beauty, not sure which. Only trade these for another peony type, since I don't have too many of these.

    hmmmm trying to think of what i have that you might like. . . i have a lot of daylilies ordered but until i get them will not know how big the clumps are, and i have placed orders for several no id mixes that promise a lot of variety. i also have monkshood, a small trade, or perhaps some hellebore and hardy geranium seedlings, or some squirrel corn? do you have any shade or mainly sun? i would love even a tiny trade of dancing butterflies and/or sarah bernhardt. please email me and let me know if you might be interested come spring thaw :)

    I would love to have Dancing Butterflies and the Karl Rosenfelds. I do not have any peonies but I have Charles Grimaldi Brugmansia cuttings (Angel Trumpets) and Night Blooming Cereus (Epiphyllum oxypetalum) cuttings to trade.

    Your garden looks amazing! Unfortunately, I have no peonies to trade with you but If you'd like some Zinnias (orange, pink, purple, white), Love Lies Bleeding, or Luffa gourd seeds, I'd be super excited to take those peonies off your hands.
    Just let me know!

    I am new to the garden web and only have a few things to trade.I have just moved and do not have any peonies. i do have different things on my list maybe you would find enough of those items to trade for a small plant or two.

  • rosebud43

    I would like to trade peonies with you. I have a wide variety of plants. I took down my plant list last fall intending to revise it but had complications from spinal surgery. It will take a while to get all the names. I esp. want Dancing Butterflies and Barrington Belle/Nippon Beauty, but could use more of the others as well, esp Festiva Maxima. Thank you, Phyllis

    Hi. Firstly, your peonies are breathtaking - wish I had the space for a display like that.

    I have an extra Moonstone peony that I've been looking to replace with a Coral Charm peony. Please let me know if this is a trade you would be interested in.

    Thanks,

  • SmokyMist

    I have a good sized trading list...I have 6 or 7 different peonies, but honestly I don't like to dig on them this time of year, and they aren't really anywhere near as large as yours. Please take a look at my list and see if you are interested in anything. Journey.....you aren't supposed to ask for free plants for postage on this , or any forum. You can, however, respond to people offering free plants for postage.

    Would you be interested in trading Sarah Bernhardt for bulbs? I have Arisaema draconitum, a nice native, also Van Sion and Pink Charm daffs. I just wanted to say both of the peonies you sent this spring bloomed for me, they were lovely! I hope the peonies I sent you did as well. For the second year in a row the Sarah B. I grew from Aldi's turned out to be an entirely different peony. I won't stop trying those, but it sure would be nice to have the real Sarah in the garden. :)

    - Curly Willow cutting w/roots (as many as you like)
    - Pink pussy willow (cutting only, 3 cutting of nice size stem, grow quickly)
    - Variegated Ribbon Grass
    - Ajuga (have lots, about to bloom)
    - Red Raspberry (starter plants)

    I would like to trade with a mixture of all color of Peonies that you have available to trade. Maybe 1-2 Large Flat Rate shipping box full.

    Hi,

    Do you have any peonies for sale? I just moved to Socal and re-starting my garden again. I don't have anything for trade but let me know if we can work something out.

    Look forward to hearing from you.

  • garden_fever_girl

    I would be interested in working out a trade with you if possible. I will be splitting daylilies soon. I have strawberry candy (pink)and very pretty larger pale yellow one. I also have lots of iris bulbs, varieties I can think of right now are broad shoulders, a small yellow rebloomer, some dark purple siberian, some dwarf purple and white, batik, mary frances. I also have a coral peony I can share with you in early spring..at the moment I can't think of it's name (coral ?) It is very different it starts out sort of peachy then turns a bright coral pink as it matures..gorgeous! I can look up the name for you. I would be interested in trading for a dancing butterflies or a sarah bernhardt, or both. Let me know if I've tempted you.

    I don't have peonies to trade could i interest you with malvaviscus drummondii, turks cap, or blue plumbago? I am interested in the white variety. I could send rooted cuttings or fresh cuttings.

    I dug up about 25 divisions this spring, but with peonies, timing is critical. They hate being divided in mid season, much more so than any other plant I have. So if you're interested in peonies, contact me in September. It's too late to dig right now, they won't recover.

    Also, I'm only interested in plants hardy to zone 5.

  • suzy_q_granny
    9 years ago

    That sounds good !
    I will get a list to you, I think I still have hosta's you were looking for !
    All of my plants would be good in your zone 5, I'm in zone 3.
    Thank You

    Hi,

    I am so sorry I didn't get back to you in September, do you have any that you dug up last fall ?

    My Daughter was living in WI. and their house burnt down and they ended up with mercury poison so she has had most of my time since they moved back to MN.

    Please let me know.

    Thank You.

    Hi suzy-q - sending you an email.

    apoppyfield - I am very interested in your daffodils. I already have lots, but I know there are hundreds of varieties so you probably have some I am interested in. Not interested in iris anymore, already have 50 varieties and running out of room. (daffodils can be squeezed in anywhere :-) Need your email to contact you, can't see it on this new Houzz website, but I haven't used this new Houzz so maybe I'm missing something.

    CinnieO - Sorry, but I pretty much have everything on your trade list. Thanks for your interest.

    Now is the time for me to dig peonies. In 2 weeks they will probably have grown and be too big.
