Peonies

These beautiful peonies are grown on my friend Dale’s property, where she’s been perfecting her craft for years. We have so much fun harvesting them together, soaking up the fresh air and enjoying the little quirks of nature. It really feels like paradise out there, and we’re excited to share gorgeous blooms with you. Enjoy!

PLANT ONCE. BLOOM FOR DECADES.

We are thrilled to share something new from Lux Farm — our first offering of Peony Roots, available in four of our favorite varieties. These are the same premium roots we’re planting in our new peony field, and we’ve carved off a limited number for our amazing customers.

Peonies are timeless — lush, long-lived perennials that return each year with bigger, fuller blooms. Once established, they reward you with decades of beauty, filling the garden (and your vases) with romance, fragrance, and elegance.

Each order includes one premium bare-root peony, ready to plant in your garden this fall for blooms that begin the following spring. These new additions — Jacorma, Red Sarah Bernhardt, Coral Sunset, and Shirley Temple — represent the very best of peony color and form, and we can’t wait for you to experience them.

If you’d rather let us grow them for you, and you’re local, check out our Peony Subscription — three big, beautiful bunches of our peonies, grown right here at Lux Farm.

How to plant

Choose a sunny, well-drained spot — peonies love at least six hours of sunlight each day. Dig a hole about 12–18 inches wide and loosen the soil beneath. Position the root so the “eyes” (the small red or pink buds) sit just 1–2 inches below the surface — too deep, and the plant may not...

what to expect

Peonies are the definition of worth the wait. They spend their first season growing strong roots and may not bloom much — but by their second and third year, you’ll see the payoff: lush, full blossoms that return every spring for decades.

WHEN TO CUT

For the longest vase life, cut peonies when the buds feel soft and marshmallow-like, just as the petals are starting to show color. Blooms cut too tight may not open; blooms cut fully open won’t last as long.

Use clean, sharp pruners and cut in the early morning when the ....
