Peonies 'Krinkled White' and 'Vivid Rose'

Add Old-Fashioned Beauty to Your Garden

Peonies have an old-fashioned beauty and longevity that have made them a perennial favorite of gardeners. Before being introduced in North America, they were grown thousands of years ago in gardens across the world. There is evidence that Peonies were used for medicinal purposes in Europe over 2000 years ago and that during the reign of Emperor Yang (605-617) in China they were grown as ornamental plants. Peonies were introduced in North America during the 1830's and their popularity has only increased since then. This week we are featuring two of our favorite Peonies - 'Krinkled White' and 'Vivid Rose.'

'Krinkled White'

'Krinkled White' is a simple and classic Peony - large single, snow white petals around a pillow of rich golden stamens and green pistils. 'Krinkled White' is a nice contrast to the more common double flowering varieties. The ruffled-edge, crepe paper-like petals form a bowl shape that can reach 5 to 7 inches across. The stems are straight and strong and do not flop in the garden. 'Krinkled White' is ideal for a cut floral display. Easy-to-grow and a prolific bloomer.

'Vivid Rose'

'Vivid Rose' has large, fully double, brilliant Pink Blooms that actually glow in the garden! Introduced in 1952 by the renowned Klehm family, it remains a favorite of gardeners not only for its Beautiful Blooms, but for its delightful sweet scent. The blooms can reach up to 6 to 8 inches across. As with 'Krinkled White', 'Vivid Rose' also has stiff stems with disease-resistant, crinkled foliage that remains deep green right into autumn.

Planting and Care

Both 'Krinkled White' and 'Vivid Rose' are extremely hardy and once established, are one of the longest lived perennials available - lasting for over 50 years! Expect them to reach about 30 inches high, with the stunning display of blooms in the spring. The foliage forms a nice round clump - making the Peonies look more like shrubs than perennials. When cut in the almost-open bud stage, they open in water and last about a week indoors. Do not cut any flowers the first or second year. Be sure to cut faded flowers to prevent seed formation.

Early to mid fall is the best time to plant Peonies as it allows time for their roots to become established. Your peony will spend its first year getting established and will not be floriferous.

• Prefers an area with full sun, but will tolerate some shade. Good drainage is essential. Alkaline soil is a preference but is not essential.
• Mix lots of compost, such as Chesapeake Blue, into the soil at planting. Fertilize with Bulb-Tone in early spring. When planting, do not put fertilizer directly on the plant roots but into the soil away from the roots. Peonies should be lightly fertilized again after blooming.
• Plant with the "eyes" exactly 1 1/2 inches below the soil level. Water well right after planting.
• Mulch with 2 inches of shredded hardwood mulch after the ground has frozen. Remove the mulch in the early spring.
• Hardy in zones 3-8.
