Peony, Felix Crousse

‘Felix Crousse’ has stunning seasonal color with raspberry-red blooms and a delicate silvery sheen. These large double blossoms produce freely in clusters in mid-late spring. Peonies are a favorite for bouquets and are an elegant addition to borders or used as a specimen plant. Peonies are long-lived, hardy, shrub-like perennials. Once established, the peony is low maintenance and prefers to be undisturbed. Avoid planting too deep, as the peony will not bloom.

Excellent choice for a full-sun border
Deer and rabbit resistant
Stunning for bouquets
