Chateau
CharMarron Gardens
is located in San Jose within the San Francisco Bay Area, high above
Milpitas in the East Bay hills. We have more than 200 peony varieties
under cultivation. Our
bloom season begins in early April with tree peonies and continues
from late April through early June with our herbaceous peonies.
During
April, May and the first 2 weeks of June, garden visits are welcomed
everyday: open 9am-6pm except Wednesday open 9am-noon. We are open
the remainder of June: Fri-Sun or call for appointment. We are also
available other times of the year by appointment or if you
are feeling lucky just drop by as we are working in the gardens
throughout the year. Please
contact
us for an appointment or variety availability or map
& directions.
We began as a tall bearded iris grower but because of the
great interest that our visitors had in our collection of
herbaceous peonies, in 2002 we began offering herbaceous peonies
too. The demand for our new nursery products increased
and in 2006 we started to import tree peonies from China to
the delight of our many customers. Now with 200 varieties
of herbaceous and tree peonies growing, we offer mature 3-9
eye divisions of herbaceous peonies in 5 gal. containers and
2-4 year tree peonies any time of the year at the garden or
for shipping bare root only in the fall. We provide
cut-your-own fresh flowers here at the garden only during
our peak bloom season in May. It is quite spectacular when
our garden is in bloom with over 1000 peony plants. |
