Van Zyverden Peonies Mother's Choice Set of 3 Plant Roots White Partial Sun Perennial Fragrant 1 lb

Peonies are perennials which will live for decades, even generations. Some peonies have been known to thrive for 100 years or more. The blooms are incredibly beautiful, producing lush, glossy, green foliage all summer long and turning purplish or gold in the fall. Peonies are as stately and dignified as any shrub. They are somewhat more expensive to propagate but well worth their cost. You should think of them as an investment in your garden. Peony Mother's Choice is an award winning variety. Their blooms resemble that of a perfectly formed rose. They are large double flowering, fragrant and at times show some magenta variegation on the petals. They rarely need staking as the stems remain relatively short compared to the 7-8" flower size. Van Zyverden, fragrant, perennial, USDA Hardiness Zones 2-8, 1 lb

• In most of the country, the rules for success are simply full sun and well-drained humus-rich soil. Peonies even relish cold winters, because they need chilling for bud formation. In zones 8 and higher, they are harder to grow. They are not fussy, but choose your location wisely so that they can be left alone once planted. Plant away from trees or shrubs, as peonies do not like to compete for food. The plants require little maintenance as long as they are planted properly and establish themselves. They don't respond well to transplanting. Unlike most perennials, they thrive on benign neglect as they do not need to be dug and divided.
