Before the first rose opens, ‘Mother’s Choice’ fills the garden with that unmistakable sweet peony perfume — the scent of late spring in its fullest expression.
This classic herbaceous peony earns its place as a long-term garden investment. Plants settle in slowly, then reward your patience with increasingly impressive blooms year after year as the clump matures. Expect large, lush flowers in late spring to early summer atop sturdy stems that double beautifully as cut flowers for the vase.
Grow in full to part sun in fertile, well-drained soil. Plant the eyes no more than 1–2 inches below the soil surface — too deep and blooms will disappoint. Cut stems back after the first hard frost in fall. Hardy in USDA zones 3–8, it reaches 24–36 inches tall and wide, making it a natural anchor for perennial borders.
Available for fall 2026 or spring 2027 shipping at the same price — choose the season that suits your garden plan.
🍂 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.
