Pink
Peonies
Pink peonies
come in a wide
spectrum of colors,
from the palest
pink to the deepest
fuchsia. In fact,
what may look like
a white peony at
first glance is
actually a pink
peony upon closer
inspection. One
of the most enjoyable
aspects to strolling
through our peony
garden in Thomaston,
CT., is the visual
stimulation you
get from the vibrant
colors of our flowers.
Of course, the
heavenly aromas
wafting through
the spring air
also entice many
of our visitors
to drop by for
a little rest and
relaxation in the
gardens.
Pink
peonies are the
most common of
colors, yet their
full spectrum can
range from whitish-pink
to deep maroon
to a pinkish-blue
color. Some of
our most spectacular
pink varieties
look anything but
pink, as they take
on a reddish-orange
hue. Perhaps nothing
is more beautiful
than a 'Necklace
with Precious Pearls'
peony basking in
the morning sunshine,
with drops of dew
on the delicate
petals glimmering
in the golden light.
Pink peonies are
gorgeous, regardless
of their shade.
Many
people who start
out growing peonies
opt for shades
of pink, simply
because the diversity
of color adds so
much character
and depth to any
garden. You may
want to experiment
by starting out
with some light
and dark pinks
mixed in with other
flowers that complement
your peonies. In
our garden, we
have blue irises,
yellow daffodils,
and a host of other
colorful plants
that bring out
the vibrancy of
our Chinese peony
trees. When gardening,
don't be afraid
to use color and
contrast to truly
draw in the eye
for the most aesthetically
pleasing garden
design.
Pink
Peonies--A
True Art Form
The Chinese believe that gardening is an art on the same level as painting,
poetry, and music ... and we agree. In our eyes, pink peonies of different
hues simply demand your attention, and there is nothing more pleasing to the
senses than the sights and aromas of a peony garden. If you live in Connecticut
and wish to visit Cricket Hill Garden in Thomaston, springtime is the best
time to see and smell our blooming peony trees at their finest. You may wish
to pay us a visit in May. The peak bloom time is May 10 - 25th, though this
