Raspberry Sundae Peony is a delightful and deliciously named garden classic that offers a double helping of beauty in late spring. Its large, bomb-type double flowers open to reveal a captivating blend of creamy white outer petals encircling a fluffy center of soft pink and raspberry-red petaloids. The delightful fragrance adds to the sensory experience. This reliable, herbaceous perennial forms a handsome mound of deep green foliage that provides structure in the border long after the spectacular blooms have faded, returning bigger and better each year with minimal care.

Bicolored Double Blooms: Features large, fragrant, double flowers with a unique raspberry-and-vanilla color scheme—creamy white outer petals surrounding a center blush of soft pink and raspberry-red.
Sweet, Light Fragrance: Emits a pleasant, classic peony fragrance that enhances its appeal in the garden and as a cut flower.
Reliable Herbaceous Perennial: Dies back to the ground in winter and re-emerges each spring, growing stronger and producing more blooms as it matures over the years.
Low-Maintenance & Deer Resistant: Once established, it is remarkably carefree, requiring no staking and is naturally resistant to deer, rabbits, and most pests.
Excellent Cut Flower: The strong stems and long-lasting, fragrant blooms make it a premier choice for stunning, luxurious bouquets.

Knowing how we measure the size?

When browsing our plants, you may notice size terms such as Gallon, Multi, or Stand. These describe how a plant is grown, containerized, or structured at the time of sale — not just its height. Understanding these terms will help you choose the right plant for your space and expectations.

🌱 Gallon Size (Container Size)

Gallon refers to the size of the nursery container the plant is currently growing in (e.g. 1 Gallon, 5 Gallon, 15 Gallon).

A larger gallon size generally means:
- A more established root system
- A sturdier plant
- Faster visual impact after planting
Example:
- 5 Gallon: Ideal for residential gardens, easy to handle, good balance of value and maturity
- 15 Gallon: More mature, provides quicker results in the landscape

Note: Gallon size does not guarantee a specific height, as growth varies by species.

🌳 Multi (Multi-Trunk / Multi-Branch Form)

Multi indicates the plant has multiple trunks or main stems growing from the base.

Commonly used for:
- Ornamental trees
- Feature plants
- Japanese maples, olives, crepe myrtles, etc.
Why choose Multi:
- Fuller, more sculptural appearance
- Strong visual presence even at younger ages
- Popular for design-focused landscapes

🌲 Stand (Single-Trunk / Standard Form)

Stand (short for Standard) refers to a single, dominant trunk with a raised or naturally formed canopy.

Commonly used for:
- Shade trees
- Street trees
- Orchard and structural plantings
Why choose Stand:
- Clean, classic tree form
- Easier clearance for walkways and lawns
- Preferred for long-term structure and uniformity

🌿 Choosing the Right Size

If you want instant impact → larger Gallon, Multi form
If you want long-term structure → Stand form
If you want flexibility and value → mid-size Gallon containers

If you’re unsure which size or form fits your project, our team is happy to help you select the best option based on your space, timeline, and design goals.

Q: Does it need support (staking)?
A: Its stems are quite strong for a double peony, but the large, heavy blooms can still benefit from a low peony ring or informal staking, especially after rain, to keep them perfectly upright.

Q: How long does it take to establish and bloom well?
A: Patience is key. It may take 2-3 years after planting to produce a full display of blooms. Avoid planting too deep—the "eyes" (pink buds on the root) should be no more than 2 inches below the soil surface.
