A mid-season peony, Jumbo Shirley Temple shows white double blooms with hints of pink that fade to ivory white as the season progresses, the same as her standard variety. Though our Jumbo peonies produce the same size blooms as standard peonies, these jumbo roots have five to eight eyes, while our regular size has two to four. This size difference is because our Jumbo roots are more mature, allowing them to produce larger plants and typically bloom in their first year.

• Note: Fall-planted peonies ship to all zones beginning in October
• Late spring to early summer blooming, easy to grow
• Perennial; truly lovely soft-hued peonies
