Paeonia lactiflora Festiva Maxima

Festiva Maxime Peony

A highly prized peony variety for its large, double, fragrant flowers. Its pure white petals, often streaked with red at the base, create a beautiful cupped flower that immediately catches the eye. Flowering occurs in spring, bringing a touch of elegance and freshness to the garden. This variety is ideal for beds, borders or as a cut flower in bouquets. Once established, it is relatively drought tolerant, but moderate watering during the growing season is recommended. Very hardy, it withstands winter conditions well and requires little maintenance, apart from light pruning in late winter to remove dead stems and encourage spring growth.
