That first deep breath over a Felix Crousse bloom stops you mid-step — it’s the kind of rich, rose-like fragrance that earns a peony its reputation.
Felix Crousse is a classic double-flowered herbaceous peony bearing large, vivid crimson blooms in late spring to early summer. Established clumps reward your patience, returning each year with more and bigger flowers — this is a plant that genuinely improves with age. At 24–36 inches tall and wide, it anchors a sunny border beautifully and produces long-stemmed cuts worth bringing indoors.
Grow it in full to part sun with fertile, well-drained soil. Plant the eyes no more than 1–2 inches below the surface — too deep and you’ll wait a long time for flowers. Cut stems back to the ground after the first hard frost each fall. Hardy in USDA zones 3–8.
Available for fall 2026 or spring 2027 shipping at the same price — choose the season that suits your garden plans.
🍂 Shipping & planting window
Peonies ship in fall (September–November) when fully dormant and bare root.
Fall planting gives roots a full season to establish in warm soil before winter. Cold stratification triggers strong, healthy spring growth and reliable bloom production. Spring-shipped peonies experience root damage during active growth, transplant shock during their bloom cycle, and often lose an entire growing season.
