Planting a Dr. Alexander Fleming Peony is like adding a burst of pure, fragrant joy to your spring landscape. This dependable favorite produces massive, deep pink double blooms that look like they belong in a high-end floral bouquet, but they are tough enough to thrive right in your backyard. Growing to a tidy 3 feet tall and wide, this variety offers a lush, rounded structure that fills out beautifully year after year. To ensure a spectacular show, give it a home in full sun, though a little afternoon shade is perfectly fine in our higher elevations. One of the greatest gifts of this peony is its natural deer and rabbit resistance; the local critters tend to leave these bitter-tasting stems alone, letting those sweet-smelling flowers take center stage. Its a hardy, long-lived perennial that serves as a beautiful reminder of why we love to get our hands in the dirt.
