Welcome to Taunus Garden Juhr!

This is the place where you will find some of the newest advances in Daylily, Iris and Peonies hybridizing! You can order products listed here for sale directly via mail, or fax, or you can visit our display garden from April until September.
During the spring and summer months we open our internationally recognized and accredited European display garden to the public. Visitors delight in learning about the hundreds of rare varieties of Peonies which reach the height of their flowering glory during May and early June.
Thousands of rare and new daylilies come into full bloom in June and July, with second blooms common from August until the first frost. Over the years our hybridizing specialist, Harald Juhr, has combined his breeding genius with an amazing collection of rare trees, perennials and bulbs, turning a deserted cow field near Frankfurt into a fascinating botanical and biological paradise for experts, beginning gardeners and school-aged children. In this garden, the spirit and practice of "Feng Shui" is embodied and folks are invited to come here to relax, draw or take pictures and just to enjoy the astounding variety of plants and unusual insects. The garden is also known as a "wellness garden", as guests are invited to help pull weeds!
Our main hybridizing focus areas include Daylilies, Iris and Peonies.

Daylilies
Modern Daylily varieties attract visitors with their vast colours, which range from white to all shades of yellow, orange, pink, red and go all the way into shades of dark lavender and deep purple. Not only are the greenery and blooming colours striking, but the extreme variation in shape, height, petal form and scent have caused an increasing number of people to be very much in love with these fascinating flowers.
Daylilies are very robust, not only against common plant diseases but also are very resistant to garden pests and animals, and grow well almost anywhere, except in sand.
In our specialized product collection we also offer some of the new varieties which Mr. Juhr has created during his many years of breeding flowers. He has been able to create new daylily varieties which do extremely well here in the harsh northern European climate and we only release the highest quality plants which have lived several years in our “natural garden” (with only rain, no artificial watering).

Peonies
Peonies are the so called "long lived precious stones" of the garden. They enchant visitors through their long lived flowering period from the middle of April until the end of June, depending on variety and kind. The range of colours goes from white to yellow, pink, coral, red to dark purple. These solitary plants display also a large variety of flower forms; the largest are from about one foot high to some tree forms, which grow to be six feet tall.
Our specialist garden offers mainly perennial peonies as well as many wild varieties for sale. Over 200 varieties hybridized specially by Mr. Juhr add to the selection of over 500 kinds of Peonies available to view and buy here.

Trees and Shrubs
Rare trees and shrubs, which in the past were only available to specialst collectors, have now been added to our assortment. One of the key attractions on offer today are small growing, three year old tree hybrids (in German, called "Hexenbesen") which are hybrids derived from the unique branch outgrowths from some varieties of trees (like spruce and pine). These little trees are small and exceptionally beautiful (see pictures). These Bonsai like trees are perfect for adding to collections of uncommon trees or for adding to smaller gardens and stone gardens. Taunus Garden Juhr is offering these unusual products as part of an exclusive co-operation with one of the most renowned Czech botanical experts, Mr. Fritzsche, who has hybridized them all himself.
