‘Gardenia’ Peony Root (5/8 eyes)

$25.00

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.
