This collection was originally installed by the Roland Park Garden Club in 1980, at a time when tree peonies were not well known and were considered quite rare. They were relocated in 2018 due to a formal garden renovation. In their most recent location, drainage conditions were not ideal, which affected their health. 

Woody peonies have been cultivated in China and Japan for over 2,000 years, celebrated for their stunning blooms (the last photo shows a tree peony at Cylburn in bloom in 2017!) and their traditional medicinal uses. These rescued peonies will stay cozy in their temporary home in the cold greenhouse until they can be replanted. Cylburn’s tree peony collection is an unusual collection of mature specimens and a true gem among the arboretum’s holdings. Stay tuned to learn more about their future home, which will be prominently placed within the collection in fall 2026.
