Garden Peony
Zone 2 - 9
Will light-up your garden!  Semi-double, vivid, coral-pink blossoms with a crowd of bright yellow stamens in the centre.   HEIGHT:  70-80 cm    SPREAD: 60-80  cm
General Information: Very popular and well-known perennial, grown for its always showy, sometimes fragrant flowers.  Heights vary from variety to variety but most are 60-90 cm tall and will quickly form a large clump.  Long-lived, very hardy, preferring full sun or partial shade and well-drained, fertile soil.  Best staked with hoops in early spring as the heavy blooms will be quickly dashed and ruined in a heavy wind or rain.   Single varieties are lighter and may do well with less support.  Do not plant your Peony too low as this will discourage flowering.  A little bit of the plant's hard, tuberous root should be exposed above the soil.  Superb cut flower.  Most varieties bloom early -to-mid summer.
