The Ambassador Peony Special

We are hopelessly addicted to Peonies and tall, globe-shaped Allium. After discovering a late season bonanza of Allium Ambassador in our warehouse in 2022, we interplanted them in our road-side Peony display along Bantam’s main thoroughfare. It was jaw-droppingly beautiful last spring, and even more spectacular this spring!

We encourage you to try it in your clients’ gardens. Maybe you have existing Peony beds and just need Allium Ambassador (perfectly timed for early to late Peony blooms). Or, maybe you’d like to get started with a new Peony bed bedazzled with taller flowering Allium Ambassador this fall. Please note: we cannot ship this special until around the second week in October when we receive our Peony rootstocks from the Netherlands.

Individually bagged and labeled, it is specially priced about 20% less than our already terrific prices. Normal shipping charges apply. Bloom time: June in horticultural zone 5. Top size Allium Ambassador bulbs: 20 cm/up. Plant 6" to 8” deep and 8” to 10” apart. Top size Peony rootstocks: 3 to 5 eyes. Plant shallowly with just 2” of soil over the top of the rootstock. (Visit www.vanengelen.com for complete horticultural instructions.) Horticultural zones 5-7.

(Please note that due to state agricultural restrictions, we are not permitted to ship Allium bulbs to Idaho or the following 5 counties in the state of Washington: Adams, Benton, Franklin, Grant and Klickitat.)
