Plants: Paeonia tenuifolia - Fern Leaf Peony

The herbaceous Peony has been cultivated in home gardens for over 600 years. Considering the beauty of the flower and the longevity of the plants, it's no wonder why they have long been a perennial favorite. Peony clumps may survive for up to as long as 50 years, so it is advisable to prepare the site very thoroughly before planting. Once they have become established in the garden, they are reasonably free from maintenance and problems.

This lovely peony comes from SE Europe to S Russia and has very deeply cut leaves and deep red single flowers with yellow stamens. Prefers partial shade or partial sun to full sun; soil should be moist.
