Peony

Peonies ship mid–to–late November 2026 (dormant bare-root).

By placing an order, you acknowledge and accept this shipping window and assume responsibility for proper storage if soil is frozen at delivery. This timing primarily affects Zone 5 growers; most climates have workable planting windows throughout winter. 

Shipping Restrictions for Cold Climate States: Due to the timing of our mid–to–late November peony shipping window, checkout has been disabled for customers in Maine, Vermont, Minnesota, Montana, Wyoming, and North Dakota, where frozen ground conditions are more likely at that time.

Customers in these states are welcome to contact us directly to place an order manually so we can review local conditions and timing together. This helps ensure plants arrive when planting or storage conditions are appropriate and avoids unnecessary refunds or shipping delays.

Fall shipping is standard for bare-root peonies and ensures the healthiest divisions.

Our peony roots are big and beautiful! They ship with  at least 3-5 eyes or 5-7 eyes, so be sure to check each product listing for details. 

PEONIES ARE COLD-HARDY PERENNIALS, and can be planted anytime the ground is not frozen solid. Remember- soil temperatures are not the same as air temperatures, and peonies need the winter chill. If you are concerned about the ground freezing before your bare root arrives, simply dig your holes and prep the site in advance.

We guarantee our peonies are healthy, and true to variety. We are so confident that we offer a conditional warranty for the growing season. Click here to read the complete policy.

Peonies will grow for decades, but require patience to establish. These beauties are worth the wait, so start now! Once your peony plants mature, you can cut as many stems as you like. During the first few years, it’s best to cut just few stems and let the plants retain as much of their foliage as possible. This will give them the maximum amount of energy to bulk up their root system.
