I need some paeonias

Posted by katerinagr (My Page) on

Hello and a happy New Year!!
I have a 400 square meters garden in Chalkidiki, Greece which i recently decided to transform into a paradise :-)
My main problem is i cannot find paeonias in any greek nursery (they don't even know about the plant) and all the online nurseries i can find don't ship to Greece.
If you could point out a good nursery, or have roots that you think i could buy, please let me know.

Katerina,

All of these sites that I have ordered from say they will ship most anywhere in the world, so you may want to check with them to be sure.

Adelman Peony Gardens
Hollingsworth Peonies
Khlem's Song Sparrow

The only one that has their 2008 catalog up so far is Khlem's. Adelman's web site is called www.peonyparadise.com, which seems fitting for you since you want a "paradise." I have ordered from all of these companies, and they are all good.

Hope this helps. Be sure to come back and post some pictures on the progress of your Greek paradise. I would love to see it.

:-) Thank you very much amulet. I will check them out at once. I have been searching for about two months now and nobody seems to ship to Greece.
I just got a negative answer from Khlem's yesterday :-(.
I will certainly post photos of my garden when i am finished.

Katerina,

That is odd. I wonder why? Did they give a reason? Maybe Greece has some import limits on the type or origin of plant material?

Probably the problem with Khlem's is because of EU regulations. I understand that for some plants it is next to impossible to export to the EU. Even though they are not in Greece try some of the other countries for peonies.

I have tried Ireland, England and Holland. To tell you the truth i only posted here because I was so desperate. From what i know Greece has no specific laws about plant imports. But the EU does, so it's the same thing for us.

Katerina,

Perhaps then you must only buy from EU countries. The only one I can think of right away is Kelways. They are in the UK. I have never ordered from them, but I hope they would be good since they are the hybrizers of several peonies.

I'm sure there are probably many more EU nurseries. Perhaps others here can suggest some.
