An early peony for the flower lover who simply cannot wait for peony season to begin.
Shirley Temple is one of those peonies that makes you understand why people fall completely in love with them.
Her enormous, fluffy double blooms begin with the prettiest blush pink coloring, often touched with deeper pink through the center. As the flowers open and mature, they soften toward creamy white — an absolute stunner in the gardens and in a vase.
Her scent is mind blowing but not over powering.
And she blooms early— the earliest peony in my gardens.
Shirley Temple begins flowering ahead of many of the classic garden peonies, making her a beautiful way to start your peony season a little sooner.
She isn't simply pretty, either. Shirley Temple has earned the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit and has long been treasured as both a garden peony and an exceptional cut flower.
Why I Love Shirley Temple
These roots are being dug and divided directly from the established Shirley Temple peonies growing in Ella June Gardens.
I've watched them return each spring, fill the garden with those glorious blush-and-cream blooms, and cut their flowers for bouquets and vases.
They are exactly the kind of perennial I love most — plant them once, care for them well, and look forward to their return for years to come.
In Your Garden
Expect large, fully double blooms that open blush pink and gradually fade toward creamy white.
Shirley Temple is especially lovely for:
Cutting gardens
Cottage-style perennial beds
Bridal and romantic color palettes
Bringing big armfuls of peonies into your home
Plant your bare root this fall while it is dormant. Once established, peonies can return and become more beautiful year after year.
Limited availability: These are divisions from my own established garden plants, so only a limited number will be available this fall.
Once they're spoken for, the remaining Shirley Temples will stay tucked into the gardens for another season.
Small - (1-3 eyes) $15
Medium - (4-6 eyes) $25
Large - (7-12 eyes) $35
Jumbo - (13-20 eyes) $45
Full - (21-30 eyes) $50
After a long, quiet winter, these little roots spring to life, rewarding your patience with the most glorious 'petal bomb' of color and heavenly scent. It’s the happiest, puffiest explosion of beauty you can imagine! Give yourself the gift of pure, uncomplicated garden joy that lasts a lifetime.
