The Shirley Temple Peony offers exceptional value and beauty for commercial landscaping projects and retail garden centers:
- Large, double blooms measuring 6-8 inches across that transform from blush pink to ivory white
- Sturdy stems that reach 32-36 inches tall, perfect for creating dramatic garden focal points
- Lush, deep green foliage that remains attractive throughout the growing season
- Intoxicating fragrance that enhances outdoor spaces and cut flower arrangements
- Excellent vase life when used as a cut flower, lasting 5-7 days
- Deer and rabbit resistant, reducing maintenance concerns in public and private landscapes
- Long-lived perennial that increases in beauty and bloom count each year
These peonies create stunning mass plantings in commercial properties and are equally impressive as specimen plants in residential designs.
Planting and Growing Information
Plant Shirley Temple Peony bare roots in early fall for best establishment, positioning the eyes (growth buds) just 1-2 inches below soil level. These hardy perennials thrive in USDA zones 3-8 in full sun to partial shade locations. Provide rich, well-drained soil and consistent moisture, especially during establishment. Expect blooms in late May to early June, with plants reaching full maturity after 3-4 years. Once established, peonies require minimal maintenance and can thrive for decades.
