Late Blooming Peonies Week 6

Selecting late blooming peonies for the northern gardener extends the peony season out until the other garden perennials take over in late June. Many late blooming peonies are fragrant. While the color selection tends more towards the pinks and whites there are some deep colored red Japanese forms worth including for their color contrast and interesting flower forms. Generally speaking peony growers in the southern growing zones 7B and 8 should not be selecting from this group unless they are of the Japanese form.
