There’s something quietly regal about a peony that rewards patience — and King’s Day delivers exactly that. Each late spring, this herbaceous classic unfurls large, richly colored blooms with that signature peony fragrance, the kind that stops you mid-step on a garden walk.
Plant your bare root in fertile, well-drained soil where it can stretch to 24–36 inches tall and wide. Full sun to part sun keeps it blooming strong. Hardy in USDA zones 3–8, this is a plant that genuinely gets better with age — established clumps produce more and larger flowers every year. Avoid burying the eyes deeper than an inch or two, and cut stems back to the ground after the first hard frost.
King’s Day is equally at home in a cutting garden or a classic mixed border, and the blooms last beautifully in a vase.
Ships fall as a dormant bare root — the ideal planting window for strong establishment and reliable bloom next season. Local pickup available upon request.
🍂 Shipping & planting window
Peonies ship in fall (September–November) when fully dormant and bare root.
Fall planting gives roots a full season to establish in warm soil before winter. Cold stratification triggers strong, healthy spring growth and reliable bloom production. Spring-shipped peonies experience root damage during active growth, transplant shock during their bloom cycle, and often lose an entire growing season.
