Planting and Growing Information
Plant 'Dr. Alexander Fleming' bare roots in fall for best establishment, positioning the eyes (buds) just 1-2 inches below soil level in well-drained, fertile soil. This adaptable peony thrives in USDA zones 3-8, preferring full sun but tolerating partial shade. Blooming in early to mid-season (typically May-June), it forms a substantial 30-inch tall mound with a 24-30 inch spread. Once established, these peonies are remarkably drought-tolerant and can thrive for decades with minimal care.
