Peony Bare Root Plants – 7 Classic Varieties | Dormant Shipping | Hardy Perennial Flowers

Peonies are timeless, long-lived perennials prized for their large, fragrant blooms, lush foliage, and exceptional cold hardiness. Once established, peonies can thrive for decades with minimal care, making them one of the most rewarding flowering plants for home gardens.

These peonies are sold as bare root plants and ship dormant, ensuring safe transit and strong establishment when planted. Dormant shipping is the industry standard for peonies and allows roots to wake naturally once planted.
