Plant Details:
Plant Type: Perennial
Plant Family: Paeoniaceae
Plant Description: This bushy perennial offers large, fluffy, creamy yellow blossoms in late spring to early summer. These flowers stand out against the dark green, lance-shaped leaflets. The Duchesse is perfect for adding bursts of color and fragrance throughout the landscape. The sturdy stalks make staking unnecessary.
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.
