Our Peony of the Year, Grover Cleveland, is a prolific bloomer that puts on a dazzling late mid-season display of rich ruby-red blooms that deepen into the most intensely saturated magenta you have likely ever seen on a peony. 

This rare peony variety is one you won't find in a garden store.

Once mature, this dramatic and generous plant produces 25 to 30 hardy stems, each bearing one main bloom and 3 to 4 side buds.

As a cut flower, Grover Cleveland is extraordinary. The fragrance is worth noting: vibrant and full, as alive as the color itself.

These roots come directly from the same small family-owned farm that partnered with Kristin and Eric to help build the Adoration Peony Garden from its earliest days. The Grover Cleveland roots we offer trace directly back to the very roots that started ours.

If you've heard a scandalous rumor that Grover Cleveland is temperamental, here is the truth from the American Peony Society’s official registry —

“The variety we have under this name is most desirable red and a good bloomer. There is another variety masquerading under this name.” — W.F. Crisman, American Peony Society.

The variety we offer is the real one!

We are offering a very limited number 3/5 eye peony roots for Fall 2026. Available in a single root or a 3-root set.
