If the bloom season is ‘normal’ (Dana says the last normal year was the year before he was born) we expect the early Peonies and dwarf Bearded Iris to start their blooming about May 15th.

About another week later, May 22, the Tree Peonies should be blooming very nicely.

By the second full weekend of June (for 2007 that will be June 9-10) and the week prior and past that weekend, the Tall Bearded Iris and the start of the Midseason Peonies should be in full bloom. Our Clematis will also show their blooms. During this same week the Siberian and Versicolor Iris should be starting to put forth their blooms.

The Late Season Peonies will bloom toward the end of June along with the Japanese and Spuria Iris.

As you can see, we get about 6 weeks of bloom time from the various iris and peonies.

July is the time for Daylily blooms for us. The Hostas will have their beautiful leaves out all during the summer and will put their blooms up during late July-early August. We also have a wonderful Ornamental Strawberry plant the blooms the entire summer. If you look around the gardens you will also notice Lupine, Columbine, Fox Glove, Lilacs and Astilbe growing and blooming. Many of these are available for sale on site only.
