2026 PEONY OF THE YEAR

Long ago, a case of mistaken identity caused some unkind rumors about the Grover Cleveland Peony.

The real Grover Cleveland is a prolific bloomer that brings your whole garden to life with its vivid magenta-red hues.

To help clear its name, we've selected it as our 2026 Peony of the Year!

MEET THE REAL GROVER

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 between October and November, so you can plant them right away.
