There’s something quietly extraordinary about a peony that blooms bigger and more generously with every passing year — and Bridal Shower (*Paeonia lactiflora* ‘Bridal Shower’) is exactly that kind of garden reward. In late spring to early summer, this classic herbaceous peony opens into large, full flowers with that signature peony fragrance — the kind that stops you mid-step on a morning walk through the garden.
Plant her in full sun to part shade in fertile, well-drained soil, and take care not to bury the eyes too deeply — shallow planting is the secret to reliable blooming. She’ll grow to a tidy 24–36 inches tall and wide, making her a natural anchor for mixed borders and one of the best cut peonies for bringing indoors. Hardy in USDA zones 3–8, she’s built for longevity. Cut back stems after the first hard frost in fall.
Two shipping options are available: Fall 2026 or Spring 2027 — same price, your choice of timing.
🍂 Shipping & planting window
Peonies ship in fall (September–November) when fully dormant and bare root. This is the only window we ship.
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.
