Dinner Plate Peony Roots

Bold, stunning, and appropriately named, Dinner Plate is known for producing some of the largest peony blooms in cultivation. A true showpiece, this double rose-type variety opens midseason with immense, full-petalled flowers in soft medium pink with subtle salmon undertones. As the blooms mature, their color lightens to a glowing pastel pink, maintaining a satiny finish that catches the light beautifully in the garden or vase.

A tetraploid variety, Dinner Plate exhibits exceptional vigor, strength, and bloom size — with flowers that can reach extraordinary dimensions. The plants are robust, tall, and strong-growing, often producing blooms so large they appear almost sculptural. It’s a variety bred for impact, both in the landscape and as a luxurious cut flower.
