Paeonia 'Alertie'

Paeonia 'Alertie' is one of Wendy's Faves this season...here's why:

Peonies remind me of my childhood home and my mom. She loved to grow them and they continually dotted the landscape of our front yard. Alertie is one prolific bloomer that produces long lasting flowers, packed full of petals in all shades of soft pinks, and they have a lovely sweet fragrance. They positively shout, “Welcome Home”.

'Alertie' is a prolific, early flowering variety producing 6-inch blooms, absolutely full of petals that are all soft shades of pink. The flowers are long lasting and have a deliciously sweet fragrance.

These hardy peonies will be in your garden showing off their beauty for years to come. Enjoy! Peonies are one of the longest living herbaceous perennials often found in older gardens, for once established they will survive neglect. One hundred year old peonies are not uncommon.

Peonies are considered to be relatively pest free and ants on peony buds are common and totally harmless. If plants do not flower, possible causes include (1) planted too deep or too shallow, (2) too much shade, (3) late frost killed buds or (4) plant is too young or has been recently moved or disturbed.
