If spring is for pastel colors and summer is for bright ones, then Felix Supreme Peony is one of the first and brightest to welcome the summer season. This tall-growing peony flashes large, bright red double-blooms from late spring into summer. Each flower has the appearance of a large, highly frilled pompom. Felix Supremes’ blooms are reminiscent of Felix Crouse, but you’ll enjoy more disease resistance and an incredibly long bloom time. And they are amazing in cut arrangements. Welcome summer with this cheerful red peony. Paeonia ‘Felix Supreme’
Peonies have few requirements: give them a sunny well-drained location, plant 2-4′ apart, with the eyes (new buds at the crown) no more than 2″ below soil level and apply fertilizer or compost in spring. They take a while to establish, often 3 years before the first bloom—but the wait is worth it. They are heirloom quality. Let them grow undisturbed and they will bring joy to you and your loved ones through the decades.
