Paeonia 'Duchesse de Nemours'

An heirloom favorite since 1856, 'Duchesse de Nemours' is the gold standard for white herbaceous peonies. It features magnificent, crown-shaped blossoms with creamy-white petals and a subtle primrose-yellow glow at the center. Renowned for its intoxicating, lily-of-the-valley fragrance, this award-winning perennial is a staple for the romantic spring garden.

🌼 Each peony is carefully selected to ensure a healthy root system. Peonies are famously long-lived—often thriving for 50 years or more and they appreciate a permanent home where they can establish their deep roots and reward you with increasing beauty each year.

🌹 What to do when you receive your package:

Please unpack your peony immediately. If you received a bareroot, ensure the "eyes" (the small pink buds) are planted no deeper than 1–2 inches below the soil surface, as planting too deep may prevent blooming. Water thoroughly after planting. Peonies are very hardy but prefer a spot with good air circulation.
