Paeonia lactiflora ‘Gardenia’ is a herbaceous peony flowering in late spring, carrying a scent close to that of gardenia. Plants reach 24–36 inches tall and wide. Plant in full sun to part sun in fertile, well-drained soil, setting the eyes shallowly rather than deeply. Clumps are long-lived and flower more abundantly as they mature. Hardy in USDA zones 3–8 and suited to Pacific Northwest winters. Cut stems back to the ground after the first fall frost. Suitable for borders and for cut-flower growing.
🍂 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.
