About This Product

Red Peony (Paeonia lactiflora) is a stunning perennial with large showy red blooms and layers of lush petals that create a timeless garden focal point. It grows to about 2-4 ft. tall and 2-4 ft. wide forming a bushy mound of dark green divided foliage that sets off the vibrant flowers in late spring to early summer. This peony thrives in full sun with at least 6 hours of direct sunlight and prefers well-drained soil with moderate moisture for best flowering.
