'ALERTIE' Peony (Paeonia x lactiflora 'alertie')
'ALERTIE' Peony (Paeonia x lactiflora 'alertie')
Peony 'Alertie' is a fully-double, early-flowering, variably hued from near-white to medium-pink variety. 'Alertie' is known for her very high productivity and therefore wide application within the world of peonies. 'Alertie' is a compact plant making it perfectly suitable as a pot-peony as well as a cut-flower peony in colder climates, greenhouses, and even the warmer climates around the world. 'Alertie' is a sibling of peony varieties 'Pecher' and 'Noemi Demay'. All three varieties have a lot in common, but differ in terms of the number of stems per plant and the length of those stems. 'Alertie' has the longest stems of all three peonies. In contrast to its siblings however, very little is known about the history of' Alertie'. (Calot, circa 1867). Heirloom.

I’ve ordered from various companies and have been satisfied with their products but I must say this was my first order from Champlain. The Alertie Peony I received was of superb quality, very large and was still moist and in great shape when it arrived. Thank you for such a great product. I will be ordering again. Please feel free to share my review!

Incredible specimens! I was staggered when I took them out of the packaging, the tubers and roots are healthy and the eyes/buds were large and plentiful. I don’t think I’ve ever seen such beautiful peonies, and I have planted over 30 different varieties at different times, from various companies.
