There’s a reason peonies stay in gardens for decades — and Highlight reminds you exactly why the moment its large, richly colored blooms open in late spring. That sweet, classic peony fragrance drifts through the air before you even see the flowers, which arrive in generous flushes that only improve as the clump matures and settles in.
Peony Highlight thrives in full sun to part sun and prefers fertile, well-drained soil. One important planting note: keep the eyes — those small red buds at the crown — no more than one to two inches below the soil surface. Too deep, and blooms suffer. Cut stems back to the ground after the first hard frost each fall. Hardy in USDA zones 3–8, plants grow 24–36 inches tall and wide, making them a natural anchor for mixed borders and a generous source of cut flowers.

🍂 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.
