Paeonia lactiflora - Peony - Adolphie Rousseau

Enjoy the outstanding beauty of Paeonia lactiflora "Adolphe Rousseau," the most appreciated and certainly best known of all peony varieties, with its velvety, deep. Blooming from late spring through the beginning of summer, this true showstopper produces large, double blooms, laying richly coloured petals against the lustrous, dark green foliage. Ideal for creating drama and elegance in the garden space, 'Adolphe Rousseau' does best in full to partial sun. Moist to well-drained soil, with a regular watering regime to further strengthen its roots.
The flower seems to be perfect for an amateur or expert gardener in that it does best on well-drained soil with not so much care given during its settling-in period. Once established, it makes for a relatively carefree plant and a delight for many seasons. Pair 'Adolphe Rousseau' with lighter blooms like the delicate whites of Phlox or the soft blues of the Delphiniums for that striking contrast in your garden.
