Paeonia lactiflora Duchesse de Nemours

Duchesse de Nemours Peony

A classic peony variety, prized for its large, double, highly fragrant white flowers. The petals are pure white, lightly creamed at the base, forming a beautiful, elegant cup. This peony produces flowers in spring, adding a touch of grace and sophistication to gardens. It is relatively drought tolerant once established, but requires moderate watering during its growing season. Very hardy, it tolerates cold winters well and requires little maintenance other than cutting back dead stems in early spring to encourage vigorous new growth. This variety is ideal for beds, borders or cut flower gardens, providing elegance and fragrance throughout the spring.
