There’s something quietly theatrical about the moment ‘Do Tell’ opens — those full, ruffled blooms unfurling in shades of soft pink feel like the garden finally exhaling after a long winter. This herbaceous peony (*Paeonia lactiflora* ‘Do Tell’) is the kind of plant you tuck into a border and then watch reward you for decades.
Plant her in full to part sun in fertile, well-drained soil, and take care not to bury the eyes more than an inch or two below the surface — depth is the most common reason peonies sulk instead of bloom. She’ll reach 24–36 inches tall and wide, making her a natural anchor for spring borders and a generous cut-flower source. Hardy in USDA Zones 3–8, she’s built for cold winters and unfazed by Pacific Northwest springs. Cut back stems after the first 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.
