Paeonia lactiflora 'Lady In Red' is a classic herbaceous peony grown for its showy spring flower display and long-lived clumping habit. You will appreciate its bold blooms for cutting, plus handsome foliage that fills out quickly each spring and returns reliably year after year when left undisturbed.

Plant your peony where it can receive full sun for best flowering, though it also performs well in part shade (especially where summers run hot). Choose a deep, fertile, well-drained soil and give the crown good air circulation. Water to establish, then maintain even moisture during active growth; avoid soggy sites or heavy, waterlogged soils.

At maturity, expect a rounded clump roughly 28-32 inches tall with a tidy footprint, making it easy to tuck into mixed borders, cottage gardens, and cutting gardens. Space plants so each clump can expand without crowding, and plan for staking only if your site is windy or your blooms are especially heavy after rain.

For simple seasonal care, remove spent flowers if desired and let the foliage feed the roots through summer. After frost, cut stems back close to the ground and clean up any debris around the crown. With a stable planting spot and a little patience, your peony will reward you with increasingly impressive blooms each spring.
