Best peony gardens/nurseries in the Midwest?

donrawson
15 years ago

Hi,

I'm new to the Peony Forum and need some help. I am wondering what the best peony gardens/nurseries are in the Midwest United States, and when the peak bloom time for those gardens normally would be (for herbaceous peonies). I would like to consider visiting those gardens next summer and am wondering where the largest, most extensive peony collections are. Thank you. Don
