Gay Paree Peony
Paeonia lactiflora 'Gay Paree'
Plant Details:
Plant Type: Perennial
Plant Family: Paeoniaceae
Plant Description: This shrubby perennial grows in large clumps of glossy foliage with lance-shaped leaflets. Grand, vibrant pink, semi-double flowers topped with creamy petals bloom in the spring. It is adaptable to many soils and can handle some drought, but needs sufficient water for the best blooms.
Maintenance:
Maintenance Type: Perennial - Herbaceous
Plant Care: Perennial - Herbaceous (soft-stemmed plants that die back in winter and regrow in spring): Remove spent blooms to promote rebloom later. Some plants tend to flop over after the first bloom and attempt to regrow from the base; in these cases, the old stems can be cut away in summer. As plants become dormant in the fall, remove dead leaves and stems.
