Peony - Festiva Maxima The Peony Festiva Maxima, Paeonia lactiflora 'Festiva Maxima' is considered to be one of the best double flowering peonies with white blossoms and a hint of pink peaking through the center of each bloom! The flowers are very fragrant, and after blooming has finished, you are left with a beautiful mound of glossy green foliage that stays attractive all season. Peonies are one of the best cut flowers and are often used in the Midwest to decorate gravesites on Memorial Day. It is not uncommon to see peonies planted along the driveway or lane in a mass. All of our peonies are widely adaptable to most soils across the country. 'Festiva Maxima' blooms in mid to late spring and has very large, colorful blooms that stand out in the spring garden. This peony can handle dry to moist sites, and does best in full sun but can handle some light shade; prefers rich well drained soil. Water the new plant frequently to help it get off to a strong start. More often than not, this peony will not flower the first year because it will spend the first season establishing itself! Often thought of as a plant used on the farm or out in the country, peonies bring a little bit of that country feeling to your garden! * Double blooms * Glossy foliage * Fragrant flowers
