Gorgeous peonies are sweetly scented and grace your landscape with some of the biggest, most colorful spring blooms you'll find! Fancy double blossoms reach up to 5-6" across! Zones 3-7. 2-3 EYE. Peonies have few requirements: give them a sunny well-drained location, plant 2-4' apart, with the eyes (new buds at the crown) no more than 2" below soil level and apply fertilizer or compost in spring. They take a while to establish, often 3 years before the first bloom—but the wait is worth it. They are heirloom quality. Let them grow undisturbed and they will bring joy to you and your loved ones through the decades.Paeonia lactiflora 'Sarah Bernhardt'
