Fresh fall roots give you healthy plants sooner. Unlike peony roots available at big-box stores that have been in packaging for months, our 3/5 eye peony roots are harvested in the Fall and delivered to you for immediate planting. Because peony roots are perishable outside of the ground, and to keep the freshest roots, availability may be limited post-harvest.
Because roots are perishable outside of the ground, returns must be initiated within 3 days of delivery for a full refund. If there is any damage to your root upon arrival, email a photo to hello@adorationpeonygarden.com within 3 days.
