Product Description - Peony Festiva Maxima (Herbaceous)
Peonies (Paeonia) are real aristocrats among garden plants. Their large, fragrant flowers and elegant foliage make them an undisputed favorite in garden design. One of the best known and most beloved classic varieties is Peony Festiva Maxima, a graceful herbaceous peony that has been delighting gardeners around the world for over 150 years.
Festiva Maxima is a densely double peony with large snow-white flowers decorated with unexpected touches of crimson-red in the center. These bright splashes give the flower a special charm and resemble a mosaic on white marble. Each flower is like a work of art that combines purity, contrast and harmony.
The aroma of Festiva Maxima is an intense, sweet, classic peony scent that instantly creates a feeling of garden comfort. The plant forms a powerful, upright bush with strong stems that can withstand the weight of the flowers. The dark green, shiny foliage remains decorative throughout the season, adding structure and freshness to the garden. It goes well with pale or deep pink, red peonies, delphiniums, irises and roses. Ideal for cutting – its flowers stand in a vase for a long time, filling the space with a delicate scent.

How to Plant - Peony Festiva Maxima (Herbaceous)
Guide and tips for planting peony plants and bulbs
-
Choose a sunny spot in your garden with well-draining soil.
-
Dig a hole that is 2-3 times wider than the diameter of the peony bulb or root and deep enough to accommodate it comfortably.
-
Mix some compost or other organic matter into the soil at the bottom of the hole.
-
Place the peony bulb or root in the hole with the "eyes" (small buds) facing up and the crown (thickened stem base) no more than 1-2 inches below the soil surface.
-
Fill the hole with soil and gently firm the soil around the bulb or root.
-
Water the soil until it is evenly moist.
-
Cover the area with a layer of mulch to help retain moisture and suppress weeds.
-
Water the plant regularly, making sure not to let the soil dry out completely.
-
As the plant grows, provide support to the stem to prevent it from bending or breaking.
-
After the flowers have faded, cut the stem off at the base and continue to care for the plant by watering it regularly and providing it with full sun or partial shade.
