Candy Stripe Peony Root with 3-5 Eyes

Candy Stripe Peony, a striking and playful lactiflora cultivar celebrated for its unique, vividly variegated blossoms. Bred by Roger Anderson, this captivating herbaceous perennial produces large, fully double flowers featuring a creamy-white base boldly splashed and striped with vivid raspberry-red and magenta streaks. Because every single bloom exhibits its own unique pattern of coloration, no two flowers are ever completely identical. Supported by strong, upright stems reaching 34 to 36 inches in height, this vigorous variety stands tall without flopping while emitting a sweet, classic floral fragrance. Highly prized by cut-flower growers and collectors seeking dramatic, eye-catching garden contrast, Candy Stripe is a joyful and unforgettable centerpiece for any spring landscape.

Terms & Conditions (Checkout Agreement)

By checking out, you agree to our terms and designated shipping schedule. Once your order is confirmed, it is final, and the buyer assumes responsibility for proper root storage if the ground is frozen upon delivery. Mild weather windows across many regions allow for successful outdoor planting well into December. Because peonies benefit from winter chill, you can easily dig your planting holes ahead of time if freezing soil is a concern.

Bare Root Peony Growing Information & When to Expect Blooms

Planting Time: Plant your bare roots in the fall as soon as you receive them, before the ground freezes solid. This gives the root system time to establish over the winter.

Planting Depth: Dig a hole large enough to accommodate the roots. Position the root with the "eyes" (buds) pointing upward, 1 to 2 inches below the soil surface. Planting them too deep will prevent the plant from blooming.

Sun & Soil: Choose a location with full sun (at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily) and rich, well-draining soil. Avoid waterlogged areas to prevent rot.

When to Expect Blooms:

  • Year 1 (First Spring): The plant will focus its energy on root establishment and foliage growth. You may see a few green shoots or small leaves, but blooms are rare or may be very small.
  • Year 2: Foliage will become fuller and stronger, and you may get your first light bloom.
  • Years 3 and Beyond: The peony will reach maturity, producing its full-sized, abundant blossoms and peak performance.
