Welcome
Cricket Hill Garden is
a plant nursery established in 1989 devoted to introducing
American gardeners to the beauty of Chinese tree and
herbaceous peonies. Tree peonies are the Chinese national
flower and have been popular since the 7th century. In
fact, the tree peony is synonymous with the phrase "spring flower".
Tree peonies represent good fortune, love and prosperity,
and are considered the essence of the Yin (female) element
in nature.
These woody shrubs reach an average
size of 4-5 feet in height, growing well in USDA zones
4-9. It is our pleasure to introduce these great varieties
of peonies in America. The
wonderful poetic names are not made up by us, they are all
Chinese - where else would we find a "Green Dragon in a
Pink Pool"? We search out the best tree peonies and
herbaceous peonies and have grown more than 300 varieties
before we offer them for sale.
We hope that you will find all the peony information
you need on our website. We invite you to call us
at 1-860-283-1042 with your questions. Peonies are
our passion, and we enjoy sharing our information with
others
