There’s something extraordinary about a peony that gets better every year — and Lady Alexandra Duff (*Paeonia lactiflora* ‘Lady Alexandra Duff’) delivers exactly that. Her blooms open in late spring to early summer as enormous, blush-pink ruffled cups with a sweet, lingering fragrance that fills the garden and the vase equally well.
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 everything with peonies. She’s reliably cold-hardy across USDA zones 3–8, grows 24–36 inches tall and wide, and asks for very little beyond patience in those first seasons. Cut stems back after frost each fall, and let the clump establish. By year three or four, you’ll understand why gardeners pass peonies down through generations.
Choose the Fall 2026 shipping option to plant this season, or Spring 2027 if you’d prefer. Pricing is the same either way.
🍂 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.
