The Karl Rosenfield Peony is a must-have for any garden enthusiast, observed for its breathtaking, 8" size deep crimson-red double blooms and delightful, classic fragrance that beautifully enhances your garden each spring.  This peony is a resilient choice for USDA Zones 3 through 8, flourishing in diverse climates and ensuring a beautiful display year after year with very little effort on your part.  

With its stunning display from late spring to early summer, the Karl Rosenfield Peony is sure to transform your flower beds, borders, and cutting gardens into vibrant showcases of color and rich texture.  The lush green foliage creates a beautifully dense, compact mound, usually reaching heights and widths of 2 to 3 feet. This makes it a fantastic option for those looking to enhance smaller spaces or add charm to foundation plantings.

This perennial is not only highly durable but also drought-tolerant, making it a perfect choice for those seeking low-maintenance landscapes. Plus, it attracts pollinators such as bees and butterflies, enhancing the beauty and biodiversity of your garden.  This peony is a stunning addition to any garden and serves as a fantastic gift—ideal for occasions like Mother’s Day, weddings, or housewarmings.  

Growing this plant is a breeze, and its deer and rabbit-resistant nature makes it an attractive choice for both rural and suburban gardens.  It's important to note that this plant isn't considered safe for pets, so be sure to position it where your curious companions can't reach it.  

Karl Rosenfield Peonies thrive beautifully when placed in full sun and nurtured in well-draining soil.  For optimal blooming, make sure to plant the eyes (buds) at a depth of no more than 1 to 2 inches below the surface in northern zones, and consider going slightly shallower in warmer climates. This simple adjustment can lead to a more vibrant garden!

Ensure you water consistently during the initial growing season to promote a robust root system; once established, these plants will thrive with minimal water.  Applying mulch in early spring is a smart strategy to effectively suppress weeds and retain moisture in your garden. Just be sure to keep it away from the crown to ensure your plants thrive.  Be sure to prune back the stems in the fall once the foliage has naturally died back. This simple step will help ensure a healthier garden for the next growing season.  To achieve optimal results, consider fertilizing in early spring using a balanced, low-nitrogen fertilizer.  Karl Rosenfield Peonies bring elegance, resilience, and incredible value for pollinators, making them an essential addition to every perennial garden.
