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 160 peony varieties and over 160 Tall Bearded Iris varieties currently under cultivation. In the springtime ( April - June) garden visits are welcomed and offered everyday except Wednesday afternoons. 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. Up to date what's in bloom

 

Our Peony Garden

The Mighty Mo    Paula Fay    August Dessert    Martha Bullock    Avalanche  
We began as a tall bearded iris grower and because of the great interest that our visitors had in our collection of herbaceous peonies, in 2002 we began offering peonies as well. Now with 160+ varieties of herbaceous and tree peonies growing, we offer mature 3-9 eye divisions in 5 gal. containers any time of the year at the garden or for shipping bare root only in the fall.  It is quite spectacular when our garden is in bloom with over 1000 peony plants.
