Felix Crousse Peony Fragrant Double Pink Perennial Bare Root

Product Overview: Felix Crousse Peony

The Felix Crousse Peony is a classic herbaceous perennial known for its large, double-flowered blooms. This variety produces vibrant, rose-pink petals with a distinct, sweet fragrance, making it a common choice for garden borders and cut flower arrangements.

Growing Requirements and Care

To ensure healthy growth and bloom density, this peony requires a location with well-draining soil. It performs best when planted in areas receiving full sun to partial shade. Proper soil preparation is essential; the root system should be planted with the 'eyes' positioned approximately 1 to 2 inches below the soil surface to facilitate proper dormancy and spring emergence.

Seasonal Performance

This variety is a mid-to-late season bloomer. It is cold-hardy and requires a period of winter dormancy in colder climates to initiate flower bud development for the following season. The sturdy stems support the heavy, double blooms, reducing the need for extensive staking in sheltered garden locations.

Planting Guidelines

• Hardiness Zones: 3-8
• Sun Exposure: Full sun to partial shade
• Bloom Time: Mid-to-late spring
• Soil Type: Rich, well-draining garden soil
• Maintenance: Low maintenance once established; prune foliage after the first hard frost in autumn.
