Karl Rosenfield Peony

Crimson Blooms Add Drama to Any Landscape

Why Karl Rosenfield Peonies?

If you’re looking for a bright, eye-catching peony, the Karl Rosenfield is considered to be the best of the best! This crimson red flower is larger than similar varieties and is a double peony, meaning it produces an abundance of densely-packed petals from its crown. 

Gardener Karl Rosenfield developed this fragrant, hardy peony more than a hundred years ago, and his lush, clustered cultivar has been impressing ever since. The flower begins as a small ball before opening to reveal layered petals and bright yellow stamen. Setting off the vibrant red of the flower are sage-green, pointed leaves that turn red in fall. 

An ideal specimen or border plant, the Karl Rosenfield Peony is a small bush, reaching two to three feet tall and wide. It’s also incredibly low-maintenance. Not only does it attract few pests and diseases, but it also requires almost no pruning. 

Blooming from late spring to early summer, the Karl Rosenfield Peony makes a stunning addition to your garden display. Each flower blooms for a week or longer, and planted with earlier and later-blooming peonies, you can enjoy an array of blossoms for up to six weeks!

Planting & Care

1. Planting: Plant where it can receive full sun, although some partial shade is tolerated in the south and warmest areas of the west. ​​Plant so that the buds at the top of the roots are pointing up. Cover with 1-2 inches of soil if you’re in the north, no more than one inch if you’re in the south. 

2. Watering: Ensure moderate moisture and well-draining soil, about an inch of water per week throughout the growing season.

3. Fertilizing: An annual side-dressing of one inch of compost or aged manure will help this plant’s growth. No other fertilization is needed.

4. Pruning: Deadhead after flowering and cut back to the ground in winter after the first frost to encourage energy for next year.
