Festiva Maxima is considered to be one of the
best double flowering Peonies. Large pure white blooms with splashes of crimson red
throughout the center. Flowers are very fragrant filling the air with their sweet
perfume. After blooming has finished, you are left with a beautiful mound of glossy green
foliage that stays attractive all season. Fesitva Maxima has been our best selling
Peony for the past three years and it looks like it will be again this year. A very
reliable Peony that we highly recommend.
Peony 'Festiva Maxima'
Plant in full sun and provide a rich well drained soil. Feed lightly
in early spring with a top dressing of compost and bone meal - over feeding can cause the
plants not to bloom. When planting Peony roots place the eyes 1 1/2 - 2 inches below
the soil level. Planting the roots to deeply can cause Peonies not to produce flowers.
Water new plants frequently to help them get off to strong start - more often than
not Peonies will not flower the first year - they will spend the first season establishing
themselves.
