Run your hand along the edge of a Dinner Plate peony bloom and you’ll understand immediately why gardeners plan entire borders around this one plant. The flowers are genuinely enormous — silky, layered, and faintly sweet — arriving late spring to early summer in a display that only gets better as the clump matures over years.
Herbaceous peonies are among the longest-lived perennials you can grow, and Dinner Plate earns its place in both the garden and the vase. Plant it in full sun to part sun in fertile, well-drained soil, and take care not to bury the eyes too deeply — shallow planting is the secret to generous blooming. Cut stems back to the ground after the first hard frost in fall.
Expect a rounded clump reaching 24–36 inches tall and wide, reliably hardy in USDA Zones 3–8.
Available for Fall 2026 or Spring 2027 shipping at the same price — choose whichever season suits your planting plans.
🍂 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.
