  • Description / Paeonia Monsieur Jules Elie Peony

    For gardeners who love soft pastels and generous blooms, Paeonia Monsieur Jules Elie is a standout. This historic French variety, first introduced in 1888, delivers impressive bomb-style double flowers in shimmering rose-pink with silvery overtones. At the heart of each bloom, golden stamens peek through, adding brightness and dimension. The large, lush blossoms are supported by strong stems atop a full, upright mound that reaches about 36 inches tall and wide. Highly fragrant and elegant, these blooms are perfect for bouquets, borders, or simply enjoying in the garden.

    Commonly known as peony, Monsieur Jules Elie thrives in cottage gardens, foundation plantings, and traditional perennial borders. Its refined color and form blend beautifully with companion plants like Iris, Nepeta, and Allium. The bloom season bridges late spring into early summer, offering a luxurious transition between spring bulbs and early summer perennials. Its stately presence also makes it a lovely specimen plant, especially when positioned where its large flowers can be admired up close.

    This dependable perennial grows best in full sun to part shade and prefers well-drained, nutrient-rich loam. Hardy in Zones 3-8, it's deer resistant and long-lived, with minimal upkeep once established. What distinguishes Monsieur Jules Elie is not only its romantic color and fragrance, but also its enduring popularity as one of the most beloved and widely grown pink peonies in the world.
