Paeonia lactiflora 'Tourangelle'

Peony

Tips for Homeowners:

Taller peonies will likely need to be staked in order to support weight of the flower, which is best done in the spring before the leaves come out. Rainwater should be enough, but if supplemental water is needed, water at the bottom and not on the leaves. It is important to remove all the above-ground plant material in the fall to discourage overwintering of pests.
