Type: Double
Color: Deep pink with a rich, velvety tone
‘Alexander Fleming’ is a striking peony known for its large, fully double, and intensely fragrant blooms. Its deep, saturated pink petals create a dramatic statement in any garden or bouquet, while the strong stems make it excellent for cutting. A bold, classic favorite for gardeners seeking a vibrant splash of color.
Why 5/8 Eye Roots?
Our peony roots are premium 5/8 eye size — larger and with more growth points than the standard 3/5 eye roots you’ll often see sold elsewhere. That means:
Stronger plants right from the start
A quicker path to first blooms (often flowering a year earlier)
More vigorous growth and long-term reliability
Planting & Care
Choose a sunny, well-drained spot.
Dig a hole about 6" deep and wide enough to spread the roots without bending.
Position the root so the crown (eyes) sits just at or slightly below the soil surface — planting too deeply may prevent flowering.
Space plants 3–4 ft. apart for ample growth.
Water in well. In colder climates, mulch lightly for winter protection, then remove mulch in spring for proper airflow.
Once established, peonies will thrive for decades with very little care.
