Peonies are a garden staple for northern gardeners. Their attractive blooms and varied use as a cut flower make them an important plant in the perennial border. 'Nippon Beauty' has sturdy burgundy blooms with pom pom-like centers against attractive, glossy, dark green foliage. Leaves stay attractive throughout the growing season before turning shades of red and copper in the fall. Peonies do best in moist, well-drained soils in full sun to part shade. Plants benefit from a thick layer of mulch going into winter and side dressings of compost every couple years can help bloom production. Overall, peonies are a very carefree plant that will reward the gardener with fragrant blooms for decades.
