Hollingsworth Peonies is a duly registered peony grower and hybridizer in the State of Missouri. We grow and sell a wide assortment of bare root herbaceous peonies (bush peonies) such as Lactiflora group peonies (Chinese type peonies), hybrid peonies, and Itoh hybrids (intersectional hybrids) as well as species such as Fernleaf peonies and Paeonia species selections.

We grow nearly 1,000 named cultivars on a 100-acre farm in NW Missouri. Herbaceous peonies are hardy plants that not only withstand but thrive in our harsh Midwest climate with hot humid summers and sub-zero, freezing winters. Our peonies are grown in open fields and harvested in late summer through early fall. They are perfectly acclimated to our North American growing conditions and climate.

Bare root peonies do best when planted in the fall. They should be dug, handled, and planted when they are dormant. For this reason, we only deliver freshly dug, quality bare roots in the fall, ready for immediate planting in your garden. All peonies sold are 3 to 5 years old root divisions and have flower bud initials at the time of harvest, many of which may bloom the first year after planting.
