‘Gardenia’ Peony Root (5/8 eyes)
Type: Double
Color: Soft pink & cream
The beloved ‘Gardenia’ peony is cherished for its romantic, full double blooms. Its soft blush-pink outer petals surround creamy, ruffled centers, creating an elegant flower reminiscent of a gardenia blossom. A wonderful choice for gardeners who love pastel tones and timeless charm.
Why 5/8 Eye Roots?
Our peony roots are premium 5/8 eye size — larger and with more growth points than the standard 3/5 eye roots you’ll often see sold elsewhere. That means:
Stronger plants right from the start
A quicker path to first blooms (often flowering a year earlier)
More vigorous growth and long-term reliability
Planting & Care
Choose a sunny, well-drained spot
Dig a hole about 6" deep and wide enough to spread the roots without bending
Position the root so the crown (eyes) sits just at or slightly below the soil surface — planting too deeply may prevent flowering
Space plants 3–4 ft. apart for ample growth
Water in well
In colder climates, mulch lightly for winter protection, then remove mulch in spring for proper airflow
Once established, peonies will thrive for decades with very little care
Details
Root size: 5/8 eyes (premium grade)
Ships early November
Package contains 1 bare root
All sales are final. Buyer is responsible for proper planting and growing conditions. We recommend planting within one week of receipt for best results.
