Paeonia 'Berry Garcia'

Plant Details:

Plant Type: Perennial
Plant Family: Paeoniaceae
Plant Description: Clump-forming, bushy herbaceous perennial. Abundant mid-green deeply-lobed foliage grows on stiff upright stems.

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.
