First established in 1989 in Marysville, The Pilchuck Fuchsia Society’s (PFS) first love, naturally, is Fuchsias. We foster social relationships of Fuchsia enthusiasts through club meetings, activities, and judged shows. Our parent founders, Northwest Fuchsia Society, also sponsors scholarships to aspiring horticulture students and provides a thorough listing of hardy fuchsias for our region.
During the months of May and June one of the all-time favorite plants of local gardeners, the peony, is bursting into bloom. There are many excellent peonies available to utilize in our landscapes; including herbaceous cottage types in all sorts of colors (and varying fragrances) and larger growing tree peonies too. I would never scold anyone for growing either of these types (since I do as well), but I want to bring attention to another fabulous peony option… what is known as the intersectional or Itoh Peony.
