‘Monsieur Jules Elie’ craves attention and he gets it with big, beautiful, double-ruffled flowers reminiscent of his exotic Japanese brethren. Likely to flourish and deliver his showy, fragrant bloom through a century of springs, ‘Monsieur Jules Elie’ will delight you with its ‘bomb’ type flowers that consist of a number of wide, rosy-red petals overlapping and ringing a center mound of lighter rosy-red, filigree type petals creating a subtly two-toned flower with sheens of glistening silver. This well mannered gentleman of the garden blooms in early June on long stems backed by deep green lustrous foliage providing breathtaking color both in the garden and in the house since these blooms are perfect for showing inside and filling your house with their scent. ‘Monsieur Jules Elie’ prefers part to full sun, consistent moisture and good drainage to thrive.

While all peonies tend to be showy, ‘Kansas’ takes showiness to a new level! This peony is a robust, larger growing plant with multiple tightly grouped stems, each of which is topped by a big, round, fat flower bud by mid-May. Bud opening in late May unfurls an incredible array of bright watermelon colored petals that are packed together to form one of the biggest double flowers you’ll ever see in the garden. Lightly fragrant, these flowers will dazzle you and will make an awfully tempting cut flower. Plant ‘Kansas’ in full sun or partial shade in moist, well-drained soil and provide plant support so those huge blooms won’t flop when open.

Here’s a flower that will make you wish that Peonies would bloom the whole season! Big, ruffled and beautiful, it’s hard to beat this fluffy, full, fragrant flower when it is out in full force in late May and early June. Considered to be a late bloomer, ‘Dinnerplate’ is worth waiting for as its fully double, shell pink color and its strong, old-fashioned rose fragrance make it a delicious garden delicacy that is perfect inside as a cut flower, too. ‘Dinnerplate’ is easy to grow, but, like all peonies, plant it in full sun or light, partial shade in the middle of a garden and make it a permanent garden fixture since it will not tolerate moving well once established. This plant is exclusively offered to White Flower Farm program buyers!

Captivating scent and huge flowers will have you screaming for more the first time you see this selection in bloom. ‘Sarah Bernhardt’ is tall growing with tightly grouped stems that each carry a big, round bulky bud by mid-May. Buds open in late May to huge, very double rose-pink flowers that are as fragrant as they are showy. Flowers are perfect for cutting to bring that incredible aroma inside and its deeply dissected foliage remains clean and deep green throughout the season. Place it in full sun or partial shade in moist, well-drained soil and be sure to provide support to the plant to keep those mammoth flowers upright and looking their best.

A brilliant, semi-double flowered Peony with crimson petals, ‘Karl Rosenfield’ makes just the kind of old school statement that has made gardeners love Peonies for generations. ‘Karl Rosenfield’ just turned 100 years old and is still a hot variety that continues to enjoy unprecedented popularity. And why not with its signature late May to late June bloom atop strong stems and its classic colored petals surrounding a golden bomb of stamens? ‘Karl Rosenfield’ is one of the lowest maintenance perennials around…just plant in full sun and you are promised years and years of large, delightful flowers that butterflies adore and deer don’t have a taste for. All Peonies love moist, well drained soil and transplant poorly once established in a location.
