The Kansas Peony is a superb double red peony of the highest quality with exceptional deep-red coloring that doesn’t fade. The large blooms are full and round, packed with petals of a rich red free of purple tones. The rounded bush grows to 36 inches tall and wide, fitting perfectly into your shrub beds or flower beds, with attractive foliage that looks great all summer too. This classic peony will win your heart, and come back year after year, with a reliable show that will bring your garden alive through June.
Full sun is best for the Kansas Peony, but it will also grow in light shade, including a bright north-facing position. It grows in any well-drained soil, preferring richer soils, and once established it will tolerate ordinary summer dryness easily. Removing spent flowers, cutting back in late fall, and an annual mulch is all the work it takes to grow this plant well. Pests, diseases and deer all leave it alone and anyone can easily grow this gorgeous plant.
