Karl Rosenfield Peony (Paeonia 'Karl Rosenfield') features stunning red, double flowers that are nearly 8 inches across! Each gorgeous bloom begins its display in mid-to-late spring and includes a subtle hint of yellow at its center for a touch of glowing splendor from within.

The color is certainly eye-catching! Old fashioned peony choices almost seem humdrum in comparison to the richly-saturated, ruby-red of Karl Rosenfield!

Cut a few for your dining room table and you'll enjoy their beauty and fragrance inside as well as out Each impressive blooming lasting over a week when cut when in bud. A bouquet will fragrance the entire room! Float a single large bloom in a bowl at your bedside, to perfume your dreams.

Your wildlife will just adore Karl Rosenfield, but to deer and rabbits, it holds very little interest, though we can't vouch your neighbors won't stop by to smell the heavenly blooms.

Karl Rosenfield's lush, dark-green foliage is a lively backdrop for other plants in the early summer garden even after the spring bloom has finished!

It's a hardy shrub that's easy to care for, virtually pest-free and maintenance-free.

How to Use Karl Rosenfield Peony In The Landscape

The Karl Rosenfield is a herbaceous perennial shrub that has an upright nature with erect, strong stems to hold its spring bloom aloft. Like all Peony, it will benefit from support if your area tends to have strong amounts of summer rainfall.

Plant one of these as a focus and accent plant anywhere in your yard for a brilliant splash of spring color, or use several as a decorative border, beckoning visitors along your garden path.

Plant Peonies in long rows to highlight a fenceline, or in blocks to create an impressive center of attention. Karl Rosenfield looks amazing as a specimen plant or intermixed among other perennials in cutting gardens and perennial beds, both formal and informal alike!

No old-fashioned English border or cottage garden is complete without the flouncy blooms brightening the area each spring!

Don't forget to plant a few additional plants so you can bring armloads of these vibrant, fragrant blooms indoors to enjoy! Peonies have long been the top choice for florists and spring weddings!

Because of the mid-season bloom time, you can extend your spring display by planing Karl Rosenfield with other earlier and later blooming Peony for a longer display of blooms!

Pairing wonderfully with wildflowers, herbs, and perennials of all sorts! Peony also looks wondrous among the rose garden as it gears up for its own show, while the foliage shades your spent spring bulbs as they finish their displays for the year.

#ProPlantTips For Care

Growing Peonies is a breeze! Karl Rosenfield especially is adaptable to a wide variety of soil types however, Peony root systems will always need well-drained soil.

Performing best in full sun is best to really make the blooms and foliage shine!

Extremely cold tolerant, northern gardeners to cold hardiness zones of 4 and up will be delighted to know how tough this plant is! However, even warmer growing zones up to 8 will get to enjoy these luxurious blooms!

Karl Rosenfield does best without sun and nutrient competition, so avoid planting too close to larger shrubs and trees.

Forming a neat and lush clump that won't stray from where it is planted, there will be no need to divide these plants.

This long live herbaceous perennial is quite easy to care for. As the blooms fade, cut off the old flowers leaving the foliage in place to make food for next year. Then in fall after the frost kills off the foliage, cut all of the stems down to the ground and remove all of the debris to prevent overwintering fungus spores for next year to help keep your plants clean and healthy.

Very hardy and extremely long-lived, Peony shrubs have stood the test of time. These tough plants have been known to live for 50 years!

Our love for them hasn't waivered much either, considering these wonderful plants have been around for centuries!

Bare root Peonies are shipped as nice 3-5 eye bare root divisions. Their woody roots are not uniform, so it is normal for each to look slightly different.

Plant with the eyes just below the surface of the soil with the woody roots spread out underneath. Once buried, water and mulch thoroughly.
