Jan Van Leeuwen

There's something about Jan Van Leeuwen that makes you curious to learn more. Is it even a peony? Is it a daisy masquerading as a peony?

Jan arrives late mid-season with pure white satin petals open wide into a luminous cup, surrounding a densely mounded center of brilliant golden stamens. This is a Japanese form peony, with guard petals framing a dramatically lit center on sturdy stems that hold them high. Jan brings a fragrance that is notably luxurious and clean.

Plant in USDA Growing Zones 3-8. Check the location where it will be planted on the USDA Hardiness Map.

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 7 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 7 days and we’ll make it right.

When 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.
