Pastelegance Peony Root with 3-5 Eyes
Pastelegance Peony, a breathtaking, highly exclusive masterpiece widely considered one of the finest and most luxurious cultivars on the modern market. Hybridized by Bill Seidl as an extraordinary tetraploid cross between 'Salmon Dream' and 'Lemon Chiffon', this premium perennial earned the prestigious American Peony Society Gold Medal in 2022. The magnificent, heavily ruffled double blooms open in a romantic champagne-cream tone heavily infused with a pastel salmon-pink glow. Standing on exceptionally thick, sturdy upright stems that reach up to 30 inches tall, it requires no mechanical staking to hold up its opulent, rose-like 8-inch blossoms. Emitting a pleasant, sweet fragrance and sporting handsome, semi-glossy blue-green foliage, Pastelegance is an elite early-midseason star intensely coveted by upscale wedding floral designers and rare plant collectors alike.

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.
