Beautiful beautiful!! I hope to have some blooming in a month or so. Judy

If fragrance is what
you're looking for consider, Vivid, Raspberry Sundae, Paula Fay, or Felix
Supreme. Vivid is breath taking it does best being supported with a
growing ring. Raspberry Sundae and Paula Fay stands up a little better on
their own. Felix Supreme may
also do better with a growing ring. Any of these varieties are fragrant
with Vivid and Raspberry
Sundae being best. Best of luck and plant as many peonies as you can.
You will not be disappointed.

Thank you Prettypetals I've been told that peonies wont grow and bloom in socal so this was really a treat for me to have it bloom.

Of the Woods Hydrangea and Peony Farm... will the suggested peonies live and bloom in socal zone 9? Our summers are hot and dry. Please advise, thanks.

This might create a research project for you. This link may provide some insight for you. It sounds like you are not the only person interested in growing peonies in warmer climates. They do require a chill during their dormancy. Be sure to post your progress on growing peonies in zone 9. https://www.treepeony.com/pages/growing-peonies-in-usda-zones-8-and-9%20
