Alertie

Alertie is an early-blooming herbaceous Peony with soft pink, double blooms that gradually fade to white with a light pink blush. The flowers are about 6" across and have a sweet, classic peony fragrance. It grows 28–32" tall and blooms in early to mid-spring. Hardy in Zones 3–8, Alertie is a reliable variety with attractive green foliage and is a lovely choice for cut flowers. Alertie is sold as one root with 3-5 eyes. Fall Planting Instructions:  Choose an area with at least 6 hours of sunlight with soil that has good drainage. Dig a hole 12-18” deep. Mix soil with an all-purpose fertilizer. Add the amended and loosened soil back into the hole. Place Peony roots 2-3” under the soil line with eyes facing upward, and then gently pack the soil over the roots. Water well.
