Collection: Peony Roots

Few flowers earn their place in the garden quite like peonies. Plant them once, and with a little patience, they’ll return year after year with armloads of blooms.

Our collection of premium bare-root peonies includes some of our favorite varieties for both the garden and cutting—from beloved classics to harder-to-find varieties in beautiful colors, forms, and bloom times.

Growing Peonies from Bare Roots

Plant peony roots in the fall in a sunny spot with well-draining soil. Position the root with the eyes facing upward, just 1–2 inches below the soil surface. Give them room to grow and a little time to settle in—once established, peonies can bloom beautifully for decades.
