A Gold Medal Winner
Large, rounded buds open to an explosion of tightly packed, soft-pink petals cradled by outer ‘guard’ petals of creamy ivory. Peony Angel Cheeks was awarded a Gold Medal by the American Peony Society in 2005. Its award-winning merits as Best Peony of the Year included sturdy stems to hold large flowers upright, flower size, fresh scent and longer vase life. After flowering, glossy green foliage remains throughout summer then turns purplish-red or gold in the fall.

Peony General Information

Peonies are known for their large, colorful many-petaled blossoms. A classic garden favorite. Fragrant blooms and lush foliage have made them loved for years. Abundant blooming begins usually in the 3rd season but once established, peonies can last for generations.

Peony Plant Care

Plant eyes 2 inches deep and 3-4 feet apart to allow for expansion of the clump and good air circulation. Peonies may need 2-3 years of maturity before producing significant flowering but so worth the wait! Position grow-through supports when plants are just a few inches tall to preserve upright habit when in bloom. Likes full sun and well-drained soil; however, in warmer climates, blooms will last longer with some shade during the hottest part of the day. Keep mulch away from base of plant, as it will react as though it is planted too deeply and yield less flowers. Prune foliage to ground in the fall. Rarely needs to be divided. Peonies dislike being moved.
