'FESTIVA MAXIMA' Peony (Paeonia x lactiflora 'festiva maxima')

'FESTIVA MAXIMA' Peony (Paeonia x lactiflora 'festiva maxima')

A true garden classic, 'Festiva Maxima' is a dependable, very showy variety that still deserves a place of honor in the landscape. Individual stems break from the soil surface in a tight knit group revealing dark-green, clean, deeply-cut foliage. As the stems reach mature height in May, a big, round bud forms at the top of each stem, opening in late May with big, white, fully-double flowers with a scattering of red flecks. Flowers are extremely fragrant, filling the garden with their scent. Plant 'Festiva Maxima' in full sun or part shade in moist, well-drained soil and provide plant support to keep its big, fluffy flowers from toppling when open. Better in the garden than in the vase. (Miellez, 1851). Heirloom.
