Frequently Asked Question
To fully support our customers, we’ve compiled a comprehensive collection of the most frequently answered questions. Take a look below, and if your question isn’t covered, don’t hesitate in reaching out.
When will my order ship?
​​​
We ship peony roots in the FALL. We dig and divide peonies once they have reached a state of dormancy. We usually begin the first week of September and shipping continues until Thanksgiving weekend in Canada. You'll receive a shipping confirmation once it has shipped.
​
Peony roots are shipping in damped peat moss, with planting instructions. Roots will arrive with plenty of time to plant in the appropriate season.
​
What is a bare root?
We ship bare root peonies. All of the past year's foliage has been removed, the root is washed of soil, and chopped into divisions with 3-5 eyes.
​
A root division bearing at least 3-5 eyes is all that is required in order to have a successful transplant. Depending on the cultivar it takes 3-4 years to mature into a large plant, but this is also true of transplanted potted peony.
​
By buying a bare root peony from a specialized nursery, you'll have more choice of variety, from people who really know peonies.

Can we visit your farm?
We are closed to the public. Our peony field is not open to visitors due to time constraints, seasonal demands, and logistical considerations during our busiest time of year. The peony season is short and requires our full attention to planting, harvesting, and care of the field.
When do catalogues open?
Peonies are available to purchase beginning in mid winter. We send out a notice by email. Catalogue closes in October. We ship across Canada and the USA.
