Types of Peony Blooms SEMIDOUBLE

flowers always have prominent pollen-bearing stamens intermixed with large petals.

Examples: Buckeye Belle, Coral Charm, Feather Top, Minnie Shaylor

The FULL

DOUBLE bloom

completes the process of doubling. All the stamens and carpels have developed into petals resembling the guard petals. Examples: Ann Cousins, Gardenia, Kansas, Paul M. Wild, Tourangelle With JAPANESE-type blooms the doubling process has begun.

The stamens have widened into staminodes that may look like shredded petals that are surrounded by larger outer petals. This flower form stands up well in weather.

Examples: Nippon Beauty, Madame Butterfly, Sword Dance

The BOMB-type flower has smaller petals that form a mound or bomb in the center of the larger, outer petals of the same color.

Examples: Angel Cheeks, Red Charm, Mister Ed

SINGLE peonies

are composed of five or more broad petals which surround a mass of pollen-bearing stamens and seed-bearing carpels. Examples: Athena, Krinkled White, Scarlett O’Hara, Sea Shell

Bush Peonies are suitable for USDA zones 2-8 and Tree Peonies for USDA zones 4-8. They must have a dormancy period every winter to bloom and thrive.

Welcome

to ‘Peony Paradise’!

We are Jim & Carol Adelman and we live in the farm community of Brooks, just north of Salem, Oregon.

We raised our 5 children on this farm, growing crops such as peppermint, peaches, hazelnuts, and grass for seed, with our main crop for 25 years being apples. We also custom harvested tree fruits, sweet cherries, pie cherries, prunes, and hazelnuts, for other farmers.

We have evolved over the years and in 1996, we printed our first catalog and began selling to the public. Our goal was to give a customer experience not previously available for peony-lovers: provide big blocks of color with grass walkways, so guests could really experience the growing habits and lovely flowers of the peony. During bloom season, flowers are on display for guests to enjoy, and display garden and fields are open for walking. We ship bare-root peonies to customers around the world in the fall. We enjoy sharing God’s exquisite creation, the peony, with you.

Prices in this catalog are effective January 1, 2016 superceding prices in all previous publications.

Herbaceous and Intersectional Peonies Herbaceous or bush peonies: Die down to the ground in the winter and emerge in March or when the snow melts.

Many find they are deer resistant. Peonies are long lived, minimal care plants.

There are two types of bush peonies:

Lactifloras are the most common species found in nurseries, its native location is China. Most lactiflora cultivars produce side buds.

Hybrids are crosses between two or more species. They bring additional colors, foliage types, and an earlier bloom season.

Most hybrids only produce one bloom per stem.

Tree Peonies Tree peonies: called tree peonies for the

woody stems that they have. Tree peonies have woody stems that defoliate in the fall, but the wood stems stay intact, above the ground. They tend to bloom earlier and with larger flowers than the bush peony.

They are generally slow to increase. Some are sold as named varieties; however, they are frequently sold by color. Tree peonies can have a height as little as 20” tall all the way up to over 8’ tall, depending on the plant habit, maturity, and pruning.

Ann Marie $50 (Seidl, 1984) Lavender with darker flares, single, early, lutea hybrid tree peony. An elegant flower on a vigorous plant.

All of our tree peonies are field grown on their own roots.

Other growers use a quick way to increase tree peonies by grafting a piece from the parent plant onto a piece of herbaceous root to provide a quick-start energy supply for the tree peony. Sometimes the vigorous herbaceous root takes over to the detriment of the tree peony. In some cases the herbaceous will come up and bloom beside the tree peony. Own-root peonies are also an advantage if the top is damaged by severe freezing or accidental cut down – the root will send up more buds and stems that will be the same variety as planted.

What are Intersectional or Itoh Peonies?

Itoh

Intersectional or Itoh peonies are a cross between the herbaceous (or bush) peony and the tree peony. These crosses have produced new, exciting colors. The plants have the lovely leaf form of tree peonies, but die to the ground in the winter. The plants are strong and healthy with a nice rounded bush, generally shorter than most bush peonies. Since they are recent introductions and are still in short supply, they command a high price.

Toichi Itoh of Japan made the first successful tree/bush peony cross after years of effort.

Intersectional peonies are frequently referred to as ‘Itoh’ peonies in his honor.

Award Of Landscape Merit ALM

This award is granted to peonies that have outstanding landscape and growth characteristics. It was designed to provide information on particular peony varieties that would be desirable for landscapers to use in their garden designs.

Included in characteristics are the ability to stand up in inclement weather and to be disease resistant. The first round of nominations were made by APS members in 2008 and the awards were presented by the respected and knowledgeable committee members. A handful of varieties have been added each year since.

Cut Flower Care

It is best to cut flowers early in the morning while the buds are still cool. Leave at least 3 sets of leaves on the plant to keep the plant vigorous. Most varieties can be cut when the bud feels like a large, firm marshmallow or when you observe the first petal move away from the bud.

When cut in too tight of a bud, the flower may not open.

Wash and bleach all tools, buckets, and vases to reduce flower contact with bacteria. Place the stems immediately in cool water. Remove all foliage that will be below water level in your final arrangement, as foliage will begin to break down under water and give your flowers a shorter vase life. Cut the stem again underwater as you are placing it in the arrangement. Air blocks the water uptake when stems are cut out of water. A bead of water will remain over the pores as you transfer the stem to the vase.

Keep the flowers out of direct sunlight and heat. Change the water in vases daily if possible to reduce the bacteria count. In floral arrangements you might want to use a commercial flower food that contains a bacterial inhibitor. Flowers shouldn’t be refrigerated with fruit.

Fruit emits ethylene gas which speeds flower maturity when you want to slow maturity. To open flowers faster place them in warm water in a warm room. To slow the progress, place them in a dark, cool room and if desperate- add ice to the water.

Gift certificates...

A wonderful way to celebrate a special occasion, while letting the recipient choose the right plant for the right spot! They are printed on a greeting card in any amount you specify and may be used at the nursery, online or by mail order. Call or visit our website to order one today.

You are invited to become a member of the American Peony Society!

Members will receive The APS Bulletin, which is published quarterly and offers an in-depth look at all aspects of the peony for backyard gardeners, hybridizers, hobbyists, commercial growers and cut flower merchants.

The APS Bulletin’s advertisers provide source information for peony and garden purchases.

Other benefits include...

Members will receive an Annual Yearbook.

Use the APS Yearbook’s Membership Roster to locate other peony devotees in your area.

Seed Distribution Program—A list of available seeds is published annually on the APS Website. For a nominal fee members may request the seeds of their choice.

An Annual Convention in various North American locations, featuring peony-related events and activities, such as, informative talks and discussions, garden tours, cut flower exhibits and a banquet followed by an auction.

APS acts as the International Cultivar Registration Authority for peonies. Color photos of some new registrations are featured in the quarterly bulletins.

Planting requirements:

Peonies do best with half to full day sun; aerated, well-drained soil; space around the plant to allow for air circulation; and a winter dormancy period. Fall is the correct time for planting, giving the feeder roots a chance to become established before Spring bloom.

Bare root peonies ordered will be shipped in the fall for fall planting. Planting instructions will be included with each shipment, also available on our website. While following our planting instructions, prepare your soil, plant your peonies, and wait until spring for them to emerge. Make sure to avoid planting in wet areas and put no more than 2 inches of soil over the growing eyes. If you purchased potted peonies while visiting our open house, those are ready to be transferred to your prepared garden soil.

To become a member, send $25.00 annual dues to: Kristin Jurik, APS Treasurer 5658 195th Street Ames, IA 50010-9239 USA Or to sign up online, visit www.americanpeonysociety.org/membership/ membership-online The 2016 American Peony Society Annual Convention will be held at the Hyatt on Main in Green Bay, Wisconsin- June 1st – 5th. Convention registration is $110 before May 1st and $140 after May 1st, APS membership is required. Get the chance to tour gardens, add to your peony collection at the spectacular auction, learn from speakers at various seminars, enjoy delicious meals, network with peony growers, and meet up with new and old peony friends. Bring your own cut peonies to enter into the flower exhibition.

The APS Flower Exhibition will be open for public viewing, Saturday afternoon June 4th and Sunday June 5th.

Check the APS website at www. americanpeonysociety.org for more information and to register for the convention.

Peony care includes: 1) light fertilization with a tulip/daffodil bulb fertilizer or 10-20-20 at time of emergence and in the fall, 2) maintaining moderate soil moisture during the Summer, 3) cutting foliage off at soil level in the late Fall to reduce disease and to induce dormancy in warm climates, 4) maintaining only 2” of soil cover over the growing eyes (shallower in warm zones).

Disease Prevention: The main disease affecting peonies is botrytis, or gray mold, which is a fungus and should be treated with copper sulfate or a fungicide used for black spot in roses. Allowing for air circulation around the plant as well as cutting and disposing of foliage in the Fall will greatly reduce the possibility of disease.
