Description

Peony Command Performance is a bold and dramatic perennial that delivers an unforgettable late spring display. Its extra-large, fully double blooms emerge in rich cherry red, then gradually soften to shades of pink, salmon, and cream as they mature, creating a stunning multi-toned effect. Lightly fragrant and excellent for cutting, Peony Command Performance is a standout choice for both garden beds and high-impact floral arrangements.

This hardy and long-lived perennial thrives in full sun to part sun and performs best in rich, well-drained soil with consistent moisture. Peony Command Performance forms a full, mounding habit, making it ideal for mass plantings, borders, and focal garden displays. Deer resistant and relatively low maintenance, it returns year after year with dependable blooms. Provide support for its large flowers in exposed areas, and cut back in late fall to promote strong, healthy growth each spring.

Each plant comes in a #2 (2 gallon) growers container. The image shown represents an example of what you may receive. Please note that the height, shape, and fullness of each plant may vary due to natural growth patterns. Rest assured, we will select the healthiest and most vibrant plant for you.
