The Kansas Peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Kansas') is a favorite among gardeners, celebrated for its vibrant raspberry-red flowers and lush deep-green foliage, making it a striking and lively addition to any garden.
This dependable peony is hardy in USDA zones 3–8, and it produces vibrant flowers from the end of spring into the beginning of summer, adding a splash of color to gardens at the same moment they start to flourish. Its fragrant, eye-catching blossoms are a welcome addition to any outdoor setting. Smaller gardens, borders, beds, or containers are ideal for the compact and neat growing habit of the Kansas Peony.
Kansas Peonies are an excellent choice for gardeners seeking beauty without the hassle. This hardy perennial thrives with minimal maintenance, requiring little trimming or special care. Ideal for busy gardeners or beginners, Kansas Peonies are long-lived and drought-tolerant, ensuring they flourish even in less-than-ideal conditions. Their resilience and ease of care make them a reliable and attractive addition to any garden, bringing vibrant color and lush foliage year after year with minimal effort. Embrace the joy of gardening with a plant that works with your lifestyle.
The Kansas Peony is a hardy and beautiful addition to any garden, naturally deterring deer and making it a safe choice for homes with pets due to its non-toxic nature. Beyond its resilience, this peony attracts a diverse range of vital pollinators such as hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees, enhancing your garden’s biodiversity and health. Its stunning blooms last throughout the summer, providing continuous color and charm. With the Kansas Peony, you not only enjoy a low-maintenance, deer-resistant plant but also support a thriving ecosystem right in your backyard.
If you want your Kansas peony to thrive, put it in full sun in enriched soil that drains well and keep the crown at a depth of no more than two inches. During the first growth season, water often to promote the establishment of deep roots; as the plant grows older, water less frequently. To keep soil moist and cool, cover it with organic mulch. After each bloom has faded, remove them from the plant. In late fall, cut down the leaves to the ground to encourage healthy growth in the spring. To ensure strong development, an abundance of flowers, and years of beauty for your peony, feed it a balanced fertilizer in the early spring once a year.
