Paeonia wittmaniana
Wittman's Peony
Plant Type:
SUN PERENNIALSPaeonia wittmaniana (not pure species, ex: Seneca Hill) – The gorgeous bowl-shaped flowers are a pastel creamy yellow some with a faint pink blush setting atop two-foot stems... really lovely. Free-flowering, these have budded and bloomed at the same time as P. japonica in some years and P. obovata in others. Eagerly we annually await their moment in the garden. Though we have had Paeonia wittmaniana planted in quite some shade it will set more flowers on more robust tubers sited in more sun. Plant this extraordinary peony in fertile draining soil. Pot grown peony from seed or division.

Genus Overview: Paeonia
Common Name: Peony
We have fallen in love with the species peonies. They stand on strong stems and require no staking. They flower in a range of colors with varying flower shapes at different times in the spring landscape. Many are striking woodland species and function at their best in open to dappled shade. Some sport fascinating and showy late season seed heads upping the interest ante for herbaceous perennials with added seasons of beauty. Most of our offerings are seed grown. Culture is noted in the descriptives.
