2021 MPS Fall Root Auction Summary

This past September 25, 2021, Minnesota Peony Society held its annual fall root auction at Bachman’s on Lyndale. About 80 people were in attendance and of these, 42 bidders acquired new plants. All 108 items were bare root peonies except for several lots of Martagon Lilies. The MPS auction is open to all, members and non-members. The auction is an excellent venue to learn about peony varieties and acquire old favorites as well as new introductions. Peonies typically sell from between $20 (for old favorites) to up to several hundred dollars for the rarer and new sought after varieties.
