Paeonia 'Command Performance' Peony

Paeonia 'Command Performance' is a standout peony known for its exceptional flower size, rich color, and long lived garden performance. This award winning variety produces enormous globe shaped blooms in a deep cardinal red that make an immediate impression in the spring garden. The flowers are fragrant, pollen free, and highly valued for cutting, making them an excellent choice for both landscape planting and floral arrangements.

This upright peony grows to a mature height of 24 to 36 inches with sturdy stems that support its impressive blooms. Plants develop lush grey green foliage that remains attractive through the growing season. 'Command Performance' blooms in late spring and performs best in full sun to part shade with moist, well drained soil rich in organic matter.

Peonies are known for their longevity, and this variety is no exception. Once established, plants can thrive for decades with minimal care. They prefer a permanent planting location and do not require dividing. Cold winters are beneficial, as chilling supports strong bud development and reliable flowering each year.

'Command Performance' has earned recognition as an American Peony Society Grand Champion and is widely regarded as one of the finest red peonies available. Its combination of size, fragrance, and dependable performance makes it a lasting investment for gardens in USDA zones 3 through 8.
