Description
Paeonia Prairie Charm carries fragrant light yellow semi-double flowers above a sturdy mound of dark green divided foliage. Deep red-purple flames surround the creamy and golden centers, and the strong stems hold the midseason display without staking. The flowers are useful for cutting, while the handsome clump gives a border lasting structure through fall.
Grow it in full sun or partial shade in fertile, humus-rich, moist but well-drained soil. Avoid standing winter water and do not plant the crown too deeply. Water during dry periods, use a low-nitrogen feed in spring, and remove spent stems and foliage after the growing season.
