Our Committment to you, a code of ethics

As a commercial grower and vendor of peonies, registered with the American Peony Society we have voluntarily signed their Code of Ethics.

This assures you that we are committed to providing you with the highest quality, true-to-name peony roots.

Read an abbreviated version of the code below.

Commercial Growers will in good faith:

1. Guarantee true to name cultivars and provide a replacement or refund upon verified complaint.

2. Introduce and list cultivars to commerce under precedent name, established by registration and publication with the APS.

3. Offer list/catalog descriptions and associated cultural support documents to be written using standard APS terminology.

4. Provide descriptive information for end users to determine possible problems a cultivar or group may exhibit.

5. Provide photo illustrations in offering lists/catalogs which are representative of a cultivar’s mature performance.

6. Cite APS awards, these may include the Gold Medal, Award of Landscape Merit and Flower Show Awards; as appropriate.

7. Avoid commercial synonyms, but if used, then follow the commercial synonym in print with the established name and origin in parentheses.
