Peony, Double Festiva Maxima

$24.99

This is definitely one of our favorite peony varieties! Festiva has large, white, sweetly fragrant flowers make a big impact in the late spring to early summer garden. Double Peony Festiva Maxima grows 30-36" tall and has glossy, deep green foliage. This very low-care, high-performance perennial is a standout as a focal point in perennial beds, for hedges or in a spot of its own. Peonies perform best when planted in full sun to partial shade. Deer tend to avoid.  As beautiful as they may be, the peony plant contains paeonol, which is toxic to dogs and can cause illness if ingested.

Care

Peonies like a sunny well-drained location planted 2-4' apart with the eyes no more than 2" below soil level. As far as fertilization, fertilizer or compost in spring. Peonies take time to establish, often 3 years before they start blooming, but the wait is so worth it. Let them grow undisturbed and they will bring joy to you and your loved ones through the decades. Best grown in zones 3-8.

Growth Habit

It may need some support to keep the 36" flower stems standing tall when in full bloom. It's a mid-season peony, meaning it blooms during the middle part of the peony season

Toxicity

Toxic to dogs and cats. Do not ingest. This is an easy peony to grow even in heavy clay soils and is rarely bothered by deer.
