The Organization behind Peony Showgarden Holland
Peony Show Garden is an independent showcase of established cultivars and new peony genetics. Behind this initiative stands R2 Flowers, an international company active in the professional peony business, with a strong focus on premium peonies. R2 Flowers operates at the intersection of breeding, production and market. R2 Flowers has an intermediary role, connecting the right genetics with the right growers, exporters and buyers.
Commitment to Peonies
R2 Flowers is deeply rooted in the world of peonies. The company works closely with:
- Professional growers
- International exporters
- Buyers in key global markets
- Breeding initiatives and genetic development
This position provides a unique perspective on what truly matters in practice: plant strength, reliability, commercial relevance and long-term performance. The development of Peony Show Garden emerged naturally from this involvement. Not as a marketing project, but as a practical response to a clear need: to develop and evaluate better genetics for the professional market.
Integrity in Practice
For R2 Flowers, integrity means working in a way that does not come at the expense of people, nature, or long-term trust. It is a commitment to act with care to protect quality, continuity, and relationships rather than pursue short-term gain. Our careful stewardship aims to build credibility through conduct, observation, and respect.
International Network
Through its work, R2 Flowers is connected with partners across Europe, the USA, Asia and beyond. This international perspective directly informs the breeding direction behind Peony Show Garden. Market feedback, grower experience and export realities are not external considerations, they are integral to the selection process. This connection between genetics and real-world application is what distinguishes the program.
Looking ahead
R2 Flowers continues to develop its role as a connector within the professional flower trade. While premium peonies remain the core focus, the underlying vision is broader: supporting long-term quality and reliability in floriculture.
Peony Show Garden represents one expression of that vision. Not as a finished project, but as an evolving contribution to the future of peony breeding.
