You’ll catch the fragrance before you even see the blooms — a sweet, minty sweetness that drifts across the garden on a warm late-spring morning. Angel Cheeks (*Paeonia lactiflora* ‘Angel Cheeks’) is a classic herbaceous peony that rewards your patience: flowers grow larger and more abundant each year as the clump matures, making this one of the most satisfying long-term investments in a perennial garden.
Expect full, blush-toned double flowers on sturdy stems that hold their own in a vase as beautifully as they do in the border. Plants reach 24–36 inches tall and wide, fitting naturally into cottage gardens, cutting gardens, or mixed perennial beds. Grow in full to part sun with fertile, well-drained soil, and take care not to plant the eyes too deeply — shallow planting is the key to good blooming. Hardy in USDA Zones 3–8. Cut stems back to the ground after frost each fall.
Available for fall 2026 or spring 2027 shipping at the same price — choose whichever season suits your garden 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.
