About Our Plants

IMG_7142b.jpg

Peony's Envy is dedicated to the cultivation of tree and herbaceous peonies. Our peonies are known to be some of the best on the market - in size, quality, and cultivar. Not only are our roots exceptional but each peony comes to you individually packaged in potting mix and beautifully labeled with all of the cultivars information. Planted correctly these plants will last for generations; see our peony care page for more information on how to plant.

What to Expect in the Mail

Herbaceous Peonies

Our herbaceous peonies are root divisions containing three to five eyes, pink or white buds located on the stem or crown of the plant, and a substantial root system. Whether planted spring or fall you can expect these roots to send up shoots the first summer. However, when planning a perennial garden remember the old saying, "first year roots, second year shoots, third year flowers". Herbaceous peonies should not be expected to bloom until the third year after planting.

Woodland Peonies

Our woodland peonies are root divisions containing one to five eyes, depending on the size of plant purchased. Eyes are the pink or white buds located on the stem or crown of the plant. Whether planted spring or fall you can expect these roots to send up shoots the first summer. However, when planning a perennial garden remember the old saying, "first year roots, second year shoots, third year flowers". Woodland peonies should not be expected to bloom until the third year after planting.

Intersectional Peonies

Our intersectional peonies are root divisions containing three to five eyes, pink or white buds, located on the crown that will become next year's stems. Like herbaceous peonies, intersectional peonies will take three years to become established and flower well.

Tree Peonies

We offer a variety of sizes and ages of tree peonies. The size and the type of root is noted on the product page. Please note that tree peonies are slow growing and will produce 1 to 6 inches of new growth each year, taking 3-4 years to produce full size flowers and up to 10 years to reach full height.

Shipping

When We Ship

Plants are shipped during distinct planting periods. For details on the timing of your order see our checkout page or your order confirmation email.

Overview: Plants are shipped in fall and spring when the plants are dormant. Fall shipments of tree and herbaceous peonies begin in late September, peak in October and continue into December. The exact timing of your shipment will depend on the dormancy of the plants you ordered, if you are expecting an order and have a question about timing please email peony@peonysenvy.com

Spring shipments occur March through early June. Plants can not be shipped during the summer as they are in their growing phase and the green shoots are too delicate to be sent through the mail. During shipping times plants are shipped as the plants are dug. Outside of the shipping times Peony's Envy takes orders for the following spring or fall - the timing is indicated on the catalog page and in the shopping cart.

Peony's Envy does have herbaceous peonies for sale at the farm in Bernardsville, NJ for pickup in spring and fall. See our Contact Page for dates and details.

How and Where We Ship

Peony's Envy ships all plants Priority Mail through the US Postal Service. Our shipping prices are calculated based on weight. All peonies come wrapped and individually tagged and bagged, and make beautiful gifts.
