About Adelman’s 

Nestled in Salem, Oregon, Adelman Peony Gardens is a family-owned Peony garden, passionately dedicated to cultivating and celebrating the timeless beauty of Peonies. Established in 1995, our gardens have flourished, sprawling over acres of perfectly-groomed land, becoming a sanctuary for peony lovers and a beacon for gardeners, floral designers, and enthusiasts from around the globe. Adelman’s offers an in-person experience during our open season between April and late June every year, and the opportunity to buy our roots year-round right here on the website. 

Beyond seasonal gardens, Adelman’s offers a variety of peony-related products and services. From fresh-cut blooms that bring beauty to your home, to peony bushes ready for planting, each product you buy is cultivated by our team of Peony experts.

Our family has been cultivating Peonies since 1993, when Carol planted her first Peony plant in her vegetable garden. Just two years later, we opened our gardens to the public, offering spacious grass pathways and blocks of breathtaking color between. Carol continued cultivating Peonies that would later win national awards, putting our gardens on the map for Peony enthusiasts. 

Replacing our hazelnut, apple and grass farm gradually with our new varieties of Peony blooms, Adelman’s Peony Garden grew out of genuine love for flowers. Now, we offer over 500 named varieties to our community of passionate gardeners. Our multi-generational farm is run by our family and continues to expand every year. When you buy an Adelman’s Peony, you buy into a family legacy
