There’s something quietly thrilling about the first deep crimson buds of Bunker Hill pushing up through spring soil — a reminder that some things genuinely do get better with age.
This classic herbaceous peony produces large, richly fragrant blooms in late spring to early summer, and its clumps grow more generous and floriferous with each passing year. Plant it once and you’re essentially making a garden investment for decades.
Bunker Hill thrives in full sun to part sun and prefers fertile, well-drained soil. The key at planting: don’t bury the eyes too deeply, or blooms will disappoint. Mature plants reach 24–36 inches tall and wide — sturdy enough to anchor a border, beautiful enough to cut for the table. Hardy in USDA Zones 3–8. Cut stems back to the ground after the first hard frost each fall.

🍂 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.
