#3 Gallon

The 'Doctor Alexander Fleming' peony is a popular, highly fragrant, herbaceous perennial known for its large, fully double, deep rose-pink flowers that fade slightly at the edges. Blooming in late spring to early summer, this vigorous, award-winning variety is a reliable, deer-resistant choice for bouquets and borders, growing 34-38 inches tall. 

 

Key Characteristics and Care

  • Appearance: The flowers are full, fluffy, and have a somewhat rounded or "globe" shape with petals that curl inward.
  • Bloom Season: Mid- to late-season bloomer, lasting 7-10 days, but with multiple side buds that extend the overall flowering time.
  • Fragrance: Renowned for an intense, sweet, and classic peony scent.
  • Light Requirements: Thrives in full sun (6+ hours), but can tolerate partial afternoon shade.
  • Soil and Water: Prefers rich, fertile, well-drained, and moist soil.
  • Hardiness: Generally hardy in zones 3-8, making it a very robust plant.
  • Maintenance: Low-maintenance; cut back to the ground in late autumn after the first frost.
