Put down roots. The absolute beauty of these peonies is only matched by their strength below the surface. A deep-rooted plant, the peony stands firm in the earth, and when planted in a proper location, can live for 50 years. When first planted, each will produce a few impressive flowers in mid-summer. In the seasons following, they produce increased amounts of large, ruffled flowers. Gorgeous in the garden, their big blooms can also be cut for indoor flower arrangements. They are easy to grow while enjoying full sun, and are winter hardy to about -30F. This collection includes a double pink plant, a double red plant, and a double white plant. From Roberta's.
