The Glory of Peonies: From mid-May through mid-June, an intoxicating sweet fragrance drifts over a patch of riotous color in Goshen, Indiana - the peony field in bloom at Oscar Morse Peonies.
The farm offers 60 top-ranked, award-winning herbaceous hybrid and lactiflora peonies – with about 1,000 plants in the field to date.
The historic farm’s name honors its original owners, but it’s now owned by Mike and Stephanie Weber.
Locals call Stephanie the peony lady, and it’s easy to see why - soon after her family moved to the farm in 2003 she began indulging her passion for Indiana's state flower.
Now the family grows and sells bare root peonies on site and and via the internet, at www.mypeonies.com.
Stephanie gives fascinating and informative guided tours of the field in bloom, giving tips on peony planting and care, pointing out the different cultivars, extolling their virtues and even telling the stories behind each variety, for those inquiring minds that really want to know.
If you're not hooked on peonies when you arrive, you’ll soon be converted!
