As late spring transitions into early summer, this plant showcases its lush green foliage, creating a stunning backdrop for the creamy-white, ruffled flowers. These blossoms emerge from delicate pale lemon buds, filling the air with an enchanting fragrance that captivates the senses.
Duchesse de Nemours is a must-have for any garden, attracting beloved pollinators such as bees and butterflies while adding a touch of elegance to your landscape. The compact, upright growth habit of this plant, usually reaching 2 to 3 feet tall and wide, makes it an ideal choice for borders, foundation plantings, cutting gardens, or container displays. It's a versatile addition that can enhance any garden layout. This plant is a fantastic choice for your garden!
Once established, it thrives even in drought conditions, and its low-maintenance nature makes it a dream for any gardener. Plus, it's resistant to deer and stands strong in various garden environments, ensuring your efforts are rewarded with lasting beauty. Although peonies aren't officially classified as pet-safe, it's wise to plant them with care if you have curious pets, as eating them could lead to mild irritation. This variety is an exceptional choice for your outdoor space and serves as a memorable gift—perfect for those who cherish timeless beauty and effortless maintenance in their gardens.
For lasting success, choose well-drained soil enriched with organic matter for your peony, and place it in a spot that basks in at least 6 hours of sunlight each day. Prepare a hole that is both wide and deep enough to fit the root ball comfortably, ensuring the crown is placed no more than 1–2 inches beneath the soil surface for optimal growth. Ensure you water thoroughly right after planting, and keep that moisture consistent throughout the growing season, but be careful not to overwater. Using mulch is a fantastic way to keep your soil moist and keep those pesky weeds at bay. Just remember to leave the crown uncovered for the best results! Start your gardening season strong by applying a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring. Don't forget to deadhead those spent blooms; it’s a simple yet effective way to promote tidy and vibrant growth in your garden. In late fall, consider cutting the foliage back to the ground for optimal garden health. With just a little care, *Duchesse de Nemours* offers gardeners a stunning display of beauty and strength season after season.
