Note: Bulbs ship starting in October based on availability and your zone, unlike other products. Plant around or after your first frost but before the ground freezes.
Eastern Star is a classic herbaceous Peony introduced in 1975. It features pure white, bomb-shaped blooms—similar in form to Snow Mountain—that grow on sturdy 30–36" stems. The clean flowers pair well with bright green foliage and bloom in late spring. Hardy in Zones 4–8 and a beautiful choice for cut flower arrangements. This hard-to-find variety has limited quantities.
Eastern Star is sold as one root with 3-5 eyes.
