Peony – Peter Brand (Double Ruby Red) (Gallon size pot)

Description

Peter Brand is a dark and sumptuous peony. Petals overflow the blossoms, red coloration changes to a purple hue as the flowers age, giving the plants and your arrangements a variety of colors.

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.

Peter Brand blooms late Spring/early summer. Height: 34-38 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.
