3/5 Eye Bare Root Peonies

Freshly Harvested Fall Peony Roots

Peonies are storytellers that can bloom in the spring for 100 years. 

They tell and retell stories of love and  friendship, wedding bouquets, and Grandma’s garden.

Our roots' stories began years ago on small family farms, rich in their own stories, right here in the U.S. The same farms we've trusted for our garden.

The best time to harvest and plant peonies is in the Fall. We ship our premium 3/5 eye peony roots to you in the Fall, so you can plant them right away.
