Double Fern Leaf Peony Paeonia tenuifolia flore plena LIMITED (ancient species 1836)
Double Fern Leaf Peony is a brilliant lipstick red and the earliest blooming of the double peonies. It must be grown in well drained soil in full all day sun. It can go dormant in early summer and should not be over watered at that time. Water from automatic sprinklers has been known to kill this plant so be sure and plant it where you can control the amount of water it will receive and cut back on watering once it starts to go dormant. Crowding by other plants or invading tree or shrub roots will also weaken and kill it. It is incredibly hardy when grown properly and is found growing in abandoned cemeteries in the open prairies which gives us a clue that it will thrive more easily in a fully exposed area with little extra care once established. Mature 3 eye divisions. Week 1 bloom date rating it is one of the first peonies to bloom in many gardens. Very limited supply in 2018. This always sells out and unlike manufactured things like t-shirts we just can't make more that season. It takes each crop 4-5 years to grow before it is ready to harvest.
