About Full Bloom Farm’s Spectacular Peonies

At Full Bloom Farm we grow Peonies the old-fashioned way. We use no pesticides or herbicides, the digging is done carefully, by hand, not by machine, and the 3-5 eye divisions are lovingly handled and carefully packed for mailing, one at a time. We never store our peonies in coolers. They are dug and sent to you immediately. Our peonies are vigorous, disease free, and toxin free. We grow many more varieties than we advertise each year. If you don't find what you are looking for in the catalog, call us — we may have what you seek or we may offer it next year. It is worth waiting for a truly healthy plant that will bring you many years of glorious beauty.

Our goal at Full Bloom Farm is to cultivate beauty and sustainable methods of production. We zealously protect our island environment and ground water. We believe that our methods will help sustain our land's fertility and productivity for years to come.

About Intersectional Peonies

Intersectional hybrid peonies are produced by crossing herbaceous “garden” peonies with tree peonies. Intersectional peonies are also known as Itoh hybrids — named after Mr. Toichi Itoh — the first to successfully cross tree peonies with herbaceous peonies. The reason that breeders have been doing this is their desire to create yellow herbaceous peonies. Intersectional peonies exhibit tree peony flowers and foliage on plants that are herbaceous in habit. They come in many colors and shades, but yellow is the most common color. Intersectional peonies are cut down in the fall and generally treated in the garden as herbaceous peonies. They have strong stems, a full rounded habit and do not require staking. The flowers tend toward semi-double and many are fragrant. These are truly stunning plants. They are more difficult to propagate than are herbaceous peonies and are still hard to get – hence the relatively high price. Intersectional peonies are supremely satisfying plants – breathtakingly beautiful, rugged, deer proof, drought tolerant, and trouble free.
