Caroline Constable Peony Root with 3-5 Eyes

Caroline Constabel Peony, an exceptional modern intersectional (Itoh) hybrid celebrated for its groundbreaking, fully double bomb-style blossoms. Bred by Thierry Rat in France, this vigorous perennial merges the robust, woody-stemmed durability of tree peonies with the winter resilience of herbaceous types. Each robust stem produces 3 to 5 stunning, cupped flowers that open in radiant shades of dusty rose and salmon-pink, highlighted by deep raspberry flares and subtle yellow bases. Standing on exceptionally strong, upright stems that reach roughly 2.5 to 3 feet tall, this floriferous variety requires no staking while emitting a mild, pleasant fragrance. Highly prized for its extended bloom window and lush foliage that remains ornamental until autumn, Caroline Constabel is a premier centerpiece for upscale garden borders and cut-flower arrangements.

Orders to colder climates are shipped first; customers are responsible for ensuring the ground is workable upon arrival.

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.
