Duchesse De Nemours

Duchesse De Nemours: This luminous angel in white with a hint of lemon makes her entrance mid-season. The Duchesse’s silky full double blooms span 6–7" in diameter, with an enchanting fragrance.

She is Kristin’s absolute favorite, and once she blooms in your garden, you’ll understand why.

Why Pre-Ordering

Pre-ordering fresh fall roots gives 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.

Returns

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.

When Will The Root Arrive?

Fall 2026. Our 3/5 eye peony roots are freshly harvested in the fall and delivered to you for immediate planting. The timing of harvest is weather-dependent from September to November. You'll receive a shipping notification when your peony has shipped.
