A chance to experience the different growing habits, colours, flowers and scents.
All peony and flower lovers are welcome! Feel free to wander through our flower fields and enjoy the beauty that peonies have to offer. We grow up to 300 varieties of herbaceous and Itoh peonies in our fields, which are within walking distance of the main farm buildings. They are also accessible by a sturdy buggy! Sturdy footwear is recommended in case of rain as our beautiful loamy soil tends to stick when wet.
Peony Plants
The best time to plant peonies is in autumn. Therefore, a visit to our fields in spring is the perfect opportunity to start drawing up your wish list! If you have any questions, we are here to answer them. We will not have any peonies in pots available.
The varieties listed in our catalogue are available as bare-root plants in autumn. Orders can be placed onsite or online. We deliver to the EU or you can collect your order from us at the farm or from one of the autumn garden shows we attend.
Peony Bouquets
We grow many different varieties of cut flowers peonies. From beautiful, old-fashioned varieties to bold newcomers. Collect them from the farm's pop-up flower shop during opening hours. What better way to celebrate spring than with fresh peony blossoms straight from the field?
We are NOT an U-pick farm.
Please contact us in advance if you require large quantities.

Farm Rules
In keeping with our tradition, we invite interested gardeners to our flower fields and farm during the opening times listed on this website ONLY. We simply ask that you show respect to our staff, fellow visitors, and the plants.
We prefer to maintain a calm and serene atmosphere so that we can enjoy nature as it is intended. Neither we nor the visiting gardeners appreciate the disruption caused by photographers, (aspiring) influencers and their entourage.
1. Entering our fields outside opening hours is not allowed and is considered trespassing. Even during opening hours, one or more fields or areas may be closed to the public. We appreciate your respect as we know how difficult this can be. If you suffer from the 'Do you know who I am' syndrome, then this is not the place for you.
2. The speed limit is 15 km/h or less. Stay on the designated track and follow the one-way signs. Park in the designated area. Follow the signs and instructions given by the Graefswinning staff.
3. Do not venture between the plants. It is forbidden to cut, pick or harvest flowers or their seeds or cuttings, or to damage or remove plants or their labels. Fines will be issued and cashed on the spot. We accept credit and debit cards, as well as cash. Fines start at €250 and are calculated at the owner's discretion. As a rough guide, multiply the value of one plant by ten. By damaging a plant, you are also damaging our livelihood for the next fifteen years.
4. Keep children close and well-behaved. Please be aware: We are a farm, not a fun park. Farms can be dangerous places. Lost children will not be returned.
5. Dogs must be kept on a lead from the moment they arrive until the moment they leave. Poop bags are compulsory. Please take the bags home with you. Please ask your dog not to urinate on the plants. Fresh drinking water is provided for our furry friends.
6. Enjoy the birdsong. Please do not bring radios, musical instruments, drones or other potentially disruptive devices. Wearing headphones is discouraged. Keep away from tractors and other machinery.
7. All rubbish must be taken home.
8. Smoking is forbidden everywhere, especially in the fields! Peonies are susceptible to the tobacco virus. Alcohol and drugs are also forbidden.
9. We allow you to take photos and short videos to help you choose your peonies. However, photography, videography and the use of drones or any other kind of recording are NOT permitted in our fields or on the farm. Fines will be issued and collected on the spot. We accept credit and debit cards, as well as cash. Fines start at €1,000 and are at the owner's discretion. To be clear, you are NOT permitted to walk amongst the flowers, as this spreads disease and damages the plants. This means NO standing, running, sitting, lying or trampling between the plants. By doing so, you are simply destroying our livelihood for the next fifteen years. You also irritate true plant lovers!
10. Don't take close-up photographs of other people. While some people like it, many don't.
Please note that these rules are subject to change without notice. By entering the Graefswinning domain, you agree to abide by these rules. If you do not agree to these rules, we request that you and your group leave the premises immediately.
We are not responsible for any damage to persons or property while you are visiting. Please be aware that you are visiting an old farm with fields, so sturdy shoes are required.
Please note that the plants in the propagation fields are not labelled, except for those which are for sale in the current year.
All fines will be donated to a Ukrainian charity or our Employee Window Fund.
