Double Peony Festiva Maxima

Large, white, sweetly fragrant flowers make a big impact in the late spring to early summer garden. Giant double peonies are hardy, fragrant, long-lived and rarely need dividing. As a bonus, they're superior as cut flowers. Festiva Maxima Double Peony grows 30-36" tall and has glossy, deep green foliage. This very low-care, high-performance perennial is a standout as a focal point in perennial beds, for hedges or in a spot of its own. Peonies perform best when planted in full sun to partial shade. Deer tend to avoid.
