{"product_id":"the-peony-parade-collection","title":"The Peony Parade Collection","description":"\u003cp\u003eOne of the reasons the blossoms of Herbaceous Peonies are so highly anticipated is that their flowering time is fleeting. These beloved, indispensable blossoms appear for just a few short weeks in late spring. To help you extend the period of Peony bloom in your garden, our Peony Parade Collection features an array of plants that flower at staggered intervals. Our staff selects 5 different varieties that generally include a mix of colors, fragrances, and flower forms. Add these hardy, long-lived favorites to your mixed border or cutting garden, and treasure weeks of beautiful, often fragrant flowers. One of each, bareroot, labeled. 5 plants total.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003ePeony 'Do Tell'\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003ePeony 'Duchesse de Nemours'\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003ePeony 'Many Happy Returns'\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003ePeony 'Sarah Bernhardt'\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003ePeony 'Pink Hawaiian Coral'\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe genus \u003cem\u003ePaeonia\u003c\/em\u003e includes more than 30 species with plants native to Europe, Asia, and western North America. The majority are perennials that die back year to year (Herbaceous Peonies), while some are woody shrubs (Tree Peonies). There is also a group of hybrids created by crossing Herbaceous and Tree Peonies (Itoh\/Intersectional Peonies). Peonies flower in mid- and\/or late spring with blossoms appearing in a variety of forms, from delicate Singles to petal-packed Doubles. These long-lived, carefree plants are classic elements of borders and beds. They combine beautifully with a wide array of perennials. When Peony blossoms subside, their cut-leaf foliage and mounding forms continue to bring beauty and structure to the garden while flattering and supporting neighboring plants. The flowers of Herbaceous and Itoh Peonies are outstanding in bouquets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHerbaceous Peonies have been beloved by gardeners since their initial cultivation in ancient China. They are cherished for large, silken, often fragrant blooms that appear in late spring (June for us) atop a mound of deep green, dissected foliage that persists throughout the growing season. The plants die back to the ground each fall but return in spring year after year, securing their reputation as one of the most durable, carefree, and longest-lived perennials. (Plants may live 100 years or more.) Herbaceous Peony flowers exhibit an array of forms from Singles to Doubles and Bomb-style to Anemone. Colors range from white, pink, magenta, and maroon to a newer spectrum, produced by hybridization, that includes bright red, mahogany, coral, and yellow. Herbaceous Peonies are must-haves for perennial beds and borders. They pair beautifully with a broad array of other perennials and are a particularly splendid companion for Tall Bearded Iris. Use Herbaceous Peonies to line a fence, path, or driveway or plant them amid perennials and shrubs in a mixed border or cut-flower garden. The flowers are superb for bouquets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe ship large roots with 3 to 5 eyes that are fresh from the growing fields. While a newly planted Peony seldom makes a first-class show in its first season, these vigorous plants will reach the top of their form in their second or third year. Herbaceous Peonies grow best with a minimum of 6 hours of sun. Southern gardeners should provide afternoon shade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor more information on growing Peonies, click Growing Guide.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"White Flower Farm","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48264645509273,"sku":"0083560-F","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0532\/9983\/9129\/files\/83560-F25.jpg?v=1785265097","url":"https:\/\/www.whiteflowerfarm.com\/products\/the-peony-parade-collection","provider":"White Flower Farm","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
