Dear Nicholas, Thank you so much for the wonderful video. I live in Rancho Palos Verdes. My house is fairly close to the ocean. I would very much like to plant peonies this year. Can you please give me some suggestion about choosing the right peonies? I would be happy to purchase from your store. Thank you very much for your advise.
So glad you enjoyed the peony video. Forever, peonies have only been able to be enjoyed by those gardeners living in colder, more wintery regions. Those of us in beautiful Southern California have not had the pleasure of peonies in their gardens. All of this changed a few years ago. After decades of breeding work in Japan, a new series of peonies were introduced. Unlike peonies before them, these peonies have essentially no need for winter chill and perform wonderfully in our climate – I have had two in my own garden for about six or eight years now. The group of peonies are collectively called ‘Itoh’ peonies and come in four or five colors and flower forms. They will bloom reliably, even in coastal gardens.
Like all peonies, they do go dormant in the winter, but we should have good inventory of budded plants back in-stock by about mid-April. I hope this helps.

We’re originally from michigan, where we’ve had several gorgeous peony trees and miss them.
Cod you have any peonies for sale that we can grow in Laguna Niguel? Will there be any in bloom around June 7th? It would make a perfect birthday gift for my daughter. Any in purple for sale?
Hello and thank you for inquiring with Roger’s Gardens, Unfortunately our peony season is over and we are sold out now. We should carry them again next February or March. They are a special peony hybridized for Southern California, called Itoh peonies. They are a cross between a tree and shrub peony and does very well here although they usually bloom in spring, sometimes if you prune them back they will re-bloom in June. If you’d like to see the ones that might be available next year, go to this page and see the varieties our vendor is growing. We look forward to your next visit, Suzanne
