There’s something quietly thrilling about the first fat peony bud of the season — and Lorelei delivers that anticipation in full. This long-lived herbaceous peony opens large, lush blooms in late spring to early summer, filling your garden with the kind of soft fragrance and layered petals that make excellent cut flowers worth lingering over.
Plant Lorelei in full to part sun and well-drained, fertile soil, taking care not to bury the eyes more than an inch or two below the surface — too deep and she’ll sulk without blooming. Hardy in USDA zones 3–8, she grows into a tidy, substantial clump of 24–36 inches tall and wide. The beauty of a mature peony is that she only improves with age, flowering more generously each year as the roots settle in. Cut stems back after the first hard frost in 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.
