Our Most Prolific Bloomer

Grover Cleveland 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.

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

That fragrance is worth noting: vibrant and full, as alive as the color itself.

Grover Cleveland is rare peony variety. We are offering a very limited number 3/5 eye peony roots for Fall 2026.

Fresh Roots Harvested in Fall

Peonies are storytellers that can bloom in the spring for 100 years.

They tell and retell stories of love and friendship, wedding bouquets, and Grandma’s garden.

Our roots' stories began years ago on small family farms, rich in their own stories, right here in the U.S.

The roots are grown by the same family farms we've trusted when planting our proposal garden in Seymour, Illinois.

The best time to harvest and plant peonies is in the Fall. We ship our premium 3/5 eye peony roots to you, so you can plant them right away.

A Case of Mistaken Identity

If you've ever heard unflattering gossip about Grover Cleveland peonies, it is likely a case of mistaken identify!

The American Peony Society’s official registry for Grover Cleveland states,

“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.
