| Maintenance | Although with a lot of TLC, I have moved Peonies in full bloom, the best time for transplanting is when they are dormant in the fall. Care should be taken to plant the crowns no deeper than 2". Most Peony need some support such as grow through supports or Peony rings to prevent them from lodging during flowering. Nothing is sadder than to see beautiful plants in full bloom, sprawling on the ground after a rain. Peony should be deadheaded after blooming. Usually but not always if you have Peony's you have ants. |
| Propagation | The easiest why to increase this plant is too divide in the early fall when the plant is dormant. The divisions should each have 3 or more eyes. It takes many years to get a Peony to bloom from seed and if the parent was a hybrid the offspring’s will be different. At my nursery we used to pot up dormant divisions at the end of September early October for next years sales |
| Cultivar Origin | A hybrid of a herbaceous and a Tree Peony from RF Anderson 1986. |
| Author's Notes | I have this Peony in my yard. Paid $70 for a nicely grown plant. The large, full yellow flowers are well worth cost. This plant is a real show stopper. People will comment to me "a yellow Peony"? |
