Peony 'Felix Supreme'

Peony ‘Felix Supreme’ is beloved for its intense red-pink double blooms, which are as beautiful in the landscape as they are in vases. The subtly scented flowers are large and showy, with sizable outer petals and dense inner segments that lend verticality. Introduced in 1955. Midseason.

Plants in the genus Paeonia generally like full sun and neutral to slightly sweet soil, and they shrug off cold. After bloom is complete, you are left with a handsome mound of glossy, deep green foliage that will happily anchor the next sequence of bloom in the neighborhood. Peonies make superior cut flowers, lasting more than a week if cut in full bud.

Southern gardeners should provide afternoon shade.
