Paeonia 'Monsieur Jules Elie'

Huge, double blooms are a light rose-pink with a silvery sheen and displayed on the bold, erect stems of this clumping perennial. Excellent background plant for spring bulbs, or use in perennial or shrub borders. Choice cut flowers!

Choose a sunny spot to plant your peony crown. If possible, have it be in a cool spot as well, i.e. a low spot on your property, protected from afternoon sun. Plant with the sprouts facing up as if to emerge from the ground. Cover with soil but make sure not to cover the sprouts too deeply. Peonies are prone to rot if planted too deeply.
