美国 Adelman 牡丹花园 (Adelman Peony Gardens) – 1995 年创立于俄勒冈州塞勒姆的家族牡丹苗圃与 APS 十一届最佳展示冠军

Adelman 牡丹花园 (Adelman Peony Gardens) 位于美国俄勒冈州威拉米特河谷 (Willamette Valley) 北部塞勒姆 (Salem) 以北的小镇布鲁克斯 (Brooks),是一家由 Carol Adelman 于 1995 年创立的家族经营牡丹专业苗圃。苗圃占地约 30 英亩,如今已发展为拥有逾 500 个命名品种、面向全球园艺爱好者与花艺设计师供应裸根的美国西部家族牡丹专业农场之一,在线目录常年开放,可邮购的产品总数超过 318 件,涵盖芍药组 (lactiflora)、伊藤组 (Itoh,亦称组间杂交) 与木本牡丹 (tree peony) 三大类,每年 4 月 25 日至 6 月 15 日为花季对外开放期。

家族沿革与 30 英亩牡丹园

Adelman 牡丹花园的故事始于 1993 年,Carol Adelman 在自家菜园中种下了第一批牡丹。仅仅两年后的 1995 年,这处最初仅作个人爱好的牡丹地首次对公众开放,游客沿着花径漫步赏花,反响远超预期。此后,园地将原本种植榛子和苹果的果园逐步替换为牡丹新品种,经过三十余年的持续引种与扩繁,如今已发展为多代同堂的家族产业 (multi-generational family farm)。苗圃所在的布鲁克斯地处威拉米特河谷北部,土壤排水良好、夏季日照充足、冬季冷凉湿润,与 USDA 2 至 8 区高度吻合,是种植芍药组与伊藤组牡丹的理想小气候带。Carol 对品种真名 (true-to-name) 与植株健康的极致追求,使 Adelman 出品的裸根在国内外园艺界建立了可靠的口碑。

品种体系与真名选育标准

苗圃在线目录列出 500 余个命名牡丹品种,横跨三大园艺类群:芍药组 (草本牡丹, lactiflora) 以传统牡丹命名体系为骨干,花型从单瓣、银莲型到千重台阁型齐全;伊藤组 (Itoh) 为草本牡丹与木本牡丹的组间杂交,兼有草本植株的清爽与木本花色的丰富,黄色系尤其突出;木本牡丹 (tree peony) 则以日本、欧美培育的优良品系为主,株型古朴、花朵硕大。Adelman 对每一份外销裸根都设有严格质量门槛:每份分株 (division) 必须带有 3 至 5 个饱满芽眼 (eyes),用湿润泥炭包裹保湿后发货;芍药组保证适合 USDA 2 至 8 区栽培,木本牡丹保证适合 USDA 4 至 8 区栽培,并承诺若植株名实不符 (not true to name) 将予以补发,这种以品种纯度为核心的运营理念,是 Adelman 在美国牡丹协会 (American Peony Society, 简称 APS, 创立于 1903 年) 历届评审中获得高度认可的根基。

美国牡丹协会荣誉与媒体展评

Adelman 牡丹花园在 APS 年度评选中累计 11 次摘得”最佳展示奖” (Best of Show),时间跨度自 2003 年至 2023 年,获奖品种包括 Coral Charm (2003、2006)、Garden Treasure (2004、2005)、Brother Chuck (2008)、Stellar Charm (2009)、Hephestos (2012、2017)、Boreas (2013)、Pastelegance (2022) 与 Sonoma YeDo (2023),这一纪录在 APS 各年度花展承办花园中位居前列。除行业协会奖项外,苗圃还曾获 The White Wren、Oregon 州”100 Best Fan-Favorite Destinations 2025″、Garden Time 园艺电视节目、Dave’s Garden 园艺社区等专业媒体与平台的推荐与展示,使其在美国西北部园艺爱好者群体中具备较高的认知度。

购物流程与农场延伸产品

Adelman 的牡丹裸根发货窗口为每年 9 月 15 日至 10 月 15 日,以休眠裸根 (dormant bare root) 形式寄出,确保植株在起苗后处于最佳休眠状态、移栽后能于次春正常萌发。国内订单通常通过 UPS Ground 或 USPS Priority Flat Rate 寄送,加拿大订单采用 UPS Standard 含追踪服务;国际订单则按实际产生的运费、植物检疫许可证 (phytosanitary permit) 与出口文件费计费,由买家自选承运商与时效。除裸根外,苗圃亦在自营农场加工并销售 Adelman Raw Honey (牡丹与三叶草花蜜)、Adelman Clover Seed (绛三叶草覆盖作物种子) 以及 Peony Paradise 系列周边 (帆布手提袋、不锈钢随行杯、T 恤等),所有蜂蜜与种子均产自 Adelman 自有田块,体现了家族农场对全产业链的延伸。

Adelman Peony Gardens is a family-run peony nursery located in Brooks, just north of Salem, Oregon, in the northern Willamette Valley of the United States. Founded by Carol Adelman in 1995, the nursery spans roughly 30 acres of meticulously maintained ground and serves as a destination for peony enthusiasts, gardeners, and floral designers around the world. The online catalog currently lists more than 318 shippable items drawn from a collection of over 500 named peony varieties, available to order year-round across the lactiflora (herbaceous), Itoh (intersectional), and tree peony groups.

Family History and the 30-Acre Peony Farm

The story of Adelman Peony Gardens began in 1993, when Carol Adelman planted her first peonies in her own vegetable garden. Just two years later, in 1995, the public was invited to stroll the original paths lined with vivid blooms. What started as a personal hobby soon became a commitment to producing the highest-quality true-to-name peony roots. Over the following three decades the family gradually replaced hazelnut and apple orchards with new peony varieties, and the multi-generational farm continues to expand its collection each year. The Brooks location sits in a cool, moist corner of the Willamette Valley where winter chill, well-drained valley soils, and dry summer sunshine together create ideal conditions for both herbaceous and tree peonies, supporting the USDA hardiness zones 4 through 8 that the nursery guarantees.

Variety Range and Selection Standards

Adelman maintains a working collection of more than 500 named varieties spanning three horticultural groups. Lactiflora (herbaceous) peonies form the backbone of the catalog and range in form from single to full-double, including many APS Gold Medal and Award of Landscape Merit winners. Itoh (intersectional) hybrids combine the clean herbaceous habit of lactifloras with the broader color range of tree peonies, with yellow tones especially well represented. Tree peonies, including lutea hybrids from European and American breeders, complete the trio with their woody stems and outsized blooms. Every shipped root must meet a strict internal standard: each division carries three to five healthy eyes and is packed in moist peat moss for transit. Bush peonies are guaranteed for USDA zones 2 to 8 and tree peonies for USDA zones 4 to 8 when planting directions are followed, and any root found not to be true to name will be replaced.

APS Recognition and Media Features

Across the past two decades, Adelman Peony Gardens has been awarded Best of Show at the American Peony Society’s annual judged flower show eleven times. The winning varieties include Coral Charm (2003 and 2006), Garden Treasure (2004 and 2005), Brother Chuck (2008), Stellar Charm (2009), Hephestos (2012 and 2017), Boreas (2013), Pastelegance (2022), and Sonoma YeDo (2023). The APS, established in 1903, hosts its judged flower show during bloom season at a different venue around the country each year. Beyond APS recognition, Adelman has been featured in outlets and curated lists including The White Wren, Oregon’s “100 Best Fan-Favorite Destinations 2025”, the Garden Time television program, and the Dave’s Garden community, helping establish the nursery as a familiar name among peony growers across the U.S. Pacific Northwest and beyond.

Ordering, Shipping, and On-Farm Products

Adelman ships dormant bare roots between September 15 and October 15 each year. Domestic U.S. orders travel via UPS Ground or USPS Priority Flat Rate; Canadian orders ship via UPS Standard with tracking; international orders are charged actual shipping plus any required phytosanitary permit and export paperwork fees, with the buyer selecting carrier and speed. Order changes made before August carry no fee; changes after August 1 may incur a fee of up to USD 20, and cancelled orders may be charged a processing fee of up to USD 25. In addition to bare-root peonies, the family farm produces and sells Adelman Raw Honey (a peony and clover blend harvested from the nursery’s own fields), Adelman Clover Seed (crimson clover cover-crop seed grown on site), and Peony Paradise branded merchandise such as canvas tote bags, stainless-steel tumblers, and T-shirts.
