Peonies have been grown in this country for generations and there are still a number of fine old cultivars available on the market. We've gathered a trio here, one white, one pink and one red, all deliciously fragrant and all widely grown for at least 75 years. This collection includes one each for Festiva Maxima (1851, mid/late bloomer), Gay Paree (1933, midseason bloomer) and Karl Rosenfield (1908, mid/late bloomer), each individually labeled to make it easy to site to best advantage. Excellent for historical gardens and for armloads of perfumed blossoms. Deer resistant.
