Paeonia lactiflora ‘Monsieur Jules Elie’ is a classic herbaceous peony bearing very large, fully double blooms in warm rich pink with a deep rosy fragrance. Flowers open late spring into early summer, and the foliage carries the plant through fall. Clumps flower more heavily as they mature. Plant in full to part sun in fertile, well-drained soil, setting the eyes no more than an inch or two below the surface — deep planting is the most common reason a peony fails to flower. Plants reach 24–36 inches tall and wide. Hardy in USDA zones 3–8. Cut back after frost. Stems cut well for the vase.
🍂 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.
