Fernleaf Peony

Paeonia tenuifolia

This long-lived garden peony bears fragrant red flowers in spring, producing increasingly spectacular blooms each year.

  • Large, fragrant red flowers open in late spring to early summer, the peak display lasts one to two weeks and is among the most spectacular of any garden perennial.
  • Attractive dark green foliage remains clean and ornamental through the growing season after the flowers have faded.
  • Long-lived once established; avoid moving established plants as they resent disturbance, select a permanent site in full sun.
  • Best in full sun to partial shade to full shade with moist, average, dry, well-drained soil.
