Description

WIth its showy spring and early summer bloom, this Paeonia is an attractive flower garden perennial. Its leaves are large, and assume an alternate, pinnately compound or dissected shape. Most of the flowers are solitary, and have either red, purple or white coloring. The planting area should be kept well-tilled, and heavy fertilization is required of the plant. Waterings should be ample, especially during blooming periods.
