Peony – Inspecteur Lavergne (Double Crimson) Bare Root Cluster

Description

Inspecteur Lavergne is a dark crimson-red double bloomer. The red in ner petal just seem to spill out of the center. As the flowers age, the color lightens and gets an antiqued frosted appearance, very dramatic second phase in a vase…

Zone 3-8. Peonies like it cold – I am planting them using white-colored weed fabric to keep the soil cooler rather than warmer in the spring.

Inspecteur Lavergne blooms late spring to early summer with fragrant blooms. Height: 35-36 inches tall

Peonies are hearty and quite easy to grow – once they get established, they come back year after year, maturing into dependable sources of opulent flowery abundance and great cut flowers. Full Sun (6+ hours will provide best flowering) but they will still bloom in Part Shade. Deer and Ground Hog resistant. Peonies will go dormant in late summer, simply remove old stalks in September. Bees do enjoy peony flowers.

Best grown in well drained soil with good fertility. Providing support especially with heavy rain is a good practice.
