Understanding Plant Options
Nature Hills offers plants in two main formats:
- Container Plants: Grown in pots with soil, sized by container volume and plant age
- Bare Root Plants: Dormant plants without soil, sized by height measurements
Container Plant Sizes
Container sizes indicate plant age and growing capacity rather than liquid volume equivalents. Our containers follow industry-standard nursery "trade gallon" specifications, which differ from standard liquid gallon measurements.

Raspberry Sundae Peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Raspberry Sundae') is a gorgeous triple layer of petals in alternating pinks, creams and more pink hues! Looking more like a whipped dessert, there’s even a cherry on top as Raspberry Sundae features pink outer petals and a white pompom topped with more pink and raspberry-pink crests toward the centers of these fragrant, ruffled wonders!
Blooming a bit later in the season, these emerge as tidy mounds of lush green foliage and soon become crowned in huge bowls of pink! They look good enough to eat, though we’d not recommend it. A few butterflies and bees arrive to sip the nectar but luckily deer leave these very much alone!
Peonies are wonderful herbaceous perennials to include in mixed borders among spring ephemerals, the bulbs can shine before the Peony leafs out, and then retire from the summer sun beneath the Peonies foliage. When these glorious blooms are done, the foliage remains as a great backdrop for later emerging perennials!
Planting and Application:
Fantastic low borders and hedges, you’ll enjoy watching the blooms dance on sturdy stems! Naturals in the cottage and perennial border, and in pollinator and Cutting borders too! You’ll want a few extras planted here and there for your indoor bouquets! Imagine waking up to one floating in a bubble bowl beside your bed, or a fragrant vase full on your dining table!
Small-space gardeners, porch and patios, even balconies can enjoy these fragrant blooms and containers let you keep them close by to enjoy every minute! Raspberry Sundae Peony are a great size for winter-chill protected pots and planters!
- Big Pink, Cream & Raspberry Flowers
- Fragrant & Later Blooming
- Cut Flowers & Bouquets
- Low Hedge, Container & Specimen
- Beds, Borders & En Masse
#ProPlantTips for Care:
Bareroot Peonies thrive in the full sun, but tolerate part shade, however, you’ll notice fewer blossoms. Plant in excellent drainage and moderate moisture. These are deeply rooted, long-lived plants, and very low-maintenance!
- Full Sun & Part Shade
- Moderate Moisture & Well-Drained Soil
- Disease Resistant
- Deer-Resistant
- Deadhead After Bloom & Prune in Late Autumn
Order your own Raspberry Sundae Peony today from NatureHills.com! We ship Bareroot Peonies as nice 3-5 eye divisions. Their woody roots are not uniform, so it is normal for each root to look slightly different. Plant with the eyes just below surface level with the woody roots spread out underneath. Once planted, water and mulch thoroughly.
