About the Peony - Red :
The Red Peony, Paeonia lactiflora. Although there
are many Peonies on the market in this day and age,
at this time we have chosen unnamed varieties,
simply pink, red and white. Peonies are one of the
best cut flowers and are often used in the Midwest
to decorate gravesites on Memorial Day. All of our
peonies are widely adaptable to most soils across
the country. They bloom in mid spring and have very
large, colorful blooms that stand out in the spring
garden.
Peonies can handle dry to moist sites, and do
best in full sun but can handle some light shade.
Often thought of a plant used on the farm or out in
the country, bring a little bit of that country
feeling to your garden. Our red peony is a very dark
flowering selection. It is really a nice contrast
when planted with the white peony. It also looks
good in mass. It is not uncommon to see peonies
planted along the driveway or lane in a mass.
