Plant Paeonia lactiflora 'Paula Fay' (Peony 'Paula Fay') for standout late-spring color and a classic perennial presence in your garden.

You'll get a leafy, clump-forming plant that returns each year and produces large, showy, semi-double blooms in a bright coral-pink tone. After flowering, the attractive foliage keeps the bed looking full through summer, making it a strong partner for other perennials and shrubs.

Give your peony a sunny spot for the most blooms, though it will also perform in part shade, especially where summers are hot. Choose well-drained, fertile soil, and avoid crowded sites so air can move through the plant. Water regularly during active growth and bud formation, then keep moisture even during dry spells.

Expect a mature height around 24-30 inches with an 18-20 inch spread. Because peonies can take time to settle in, you may see the best flowering after the plant is established. Plant the crown at the proper depth, keep mulch light over the crown in winter, and add discreet support if heavy flowers weigh stems down after rain. With simple care, you can enjoy this cultivar for years in borders, mixed beds, and cutting gardens.
