Perennials

The vivid crimson flowers of Peony 'Kansas' are borne on exceptionally strong stems. The show is glorious in the garden or in a vase. This old variety has been around since 1940 and it's still widely considered the very best double red Peony. Pretenders to the title come and go, but 'Kansas' still reigns. Early bloomer.

During its more than 125 years of existence, Monsieur Jules Elie has made as many fans as adversaries. It’s not the easiest peony variety to grow. This peony has stems that are often too slight to carry the huge flowers, opens very soon making it difficult to cut successfully and suffers easily from sooty mould. But it is a true veteran that, thanks to its huge flowers and beautiful colour, has a lot of admirers. A pink dream!
