Note: Peonies start to ship in November based on availability and your zone, unlike other products. Plant around or after your first frost but before the ground freezes.

Alertie is an early-blooming herbaceous Peony with soft pink, double blooms that gradually fade to white with a light pink blush. The flowers are about 6" across and have a sweet, classic peony fragrance. It grows 28–32" tall and blooms in early to mid-spring. Hardy in Zones 3–8, Alertie is a reliable variety with attractive green foliage and is a lovely choice for cut flowers.

Alertie is sold as one root with 3-5 eyes.

Fall Planting Instructions: 

1. Choose an area with at least 6 hours of sunlight with soil that has good drainage.

2. Dig a hole 12-18” deep. Mix soil with an all-purpose fertilizer. Add the amended and loosened soil back into the hole.

3. Place Peony roots 2-3” under the soil line with eyes facing upward, and then gently pack the soil over the roots.

4. Water well.
