Lorelei is a vibrant, herbaceous Peony introduced in 1996. It features bomb-style blooms that open in deep pink-orange and gradually shift to a softer apricot-orange, giving each flower a glowing, two-tone effect. Blooms measure 8–10" across with a sweet, spicy fragrance and appear in mid-season on sturdy 26" stems. Hardy in Zones 3–9, Lorelei is deer and rabbit resistant and makes a striking addition to cut flower arrangements. With a name that might remind you of Stars Hollow charm and endless cups of coffee, this Peony brings just as much personality to the garden.

Lorelei 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.
