Peony 'Duchesse De Nemours'

Peony ‘Duchesse de Nemours’ is an herbaceous perennial celebrated for its large, fully double, pure white blooms with subtle creamy undertones in late spring. Its glossy, deep green foliage forms neat, rounded clumps that provide structure in perennial borders or cut-flower gardens. This vigorous variety thrives in full sun to part shade and prefers rich, well-drained soil. Minimal care—deadheading spent blooms and a winter cutback—ensures reliable annual performance and elegant landscape presence.
