Description of peony Edens Perfume
Peony variety Edens Perfum belongs to the herbaceous genus. A perennial with root tubers annually produces new adventitious buds that bloom in the same year. An adult bush has a height of 75 cm. There are specimens of peony higher, up to 90 cm.
The peony variety has a symmetrical shape. Due to the presence of a large number of branched shoots and leaves, the peony looks voluminous. Its diameter is a little more than a meter, and under the weight of the inflorescences it can increase even more, which must be taken into account when designing flower beds.
The leaves are dark green in color, trifoliate, sometimes with a more complex structure. Each is mounted on a strong thick petiole. The foliage remains beautiful throughout the season and turns purple in the fall. Used to decorate bouquet arrangements.
Peony herbaceous Edens Perfum is a sun-loving plant, but it needs light shade.
To protect the peony, it is not advisable to plant it under draft winds, as the branches will flutter and fall to the ground under the weight. Tests have proven the plant's high frost resistance. Peony can withstand frosts from -29 to -35 degrees, but does not tolerate proximity to groundwater or soil with low moisture permeability.
Features of flowering
The spherical inflorescences, the diameter of which reaches 15-17 cm, deserve special attention. The flowers are double, the central petals are finely feathery, densely packed and resemble a ball. The bottom is framed by several rows of large specimens.
The color scheme is pink tones interspersed with white and cream shades. Occasionally, the edges of the petals are painted in more saturated fuchsia tones. Edens Perfume is valued for its persistent, sweet aroma.

The peony flowering period lasts from the first ten days of June to mid-July. The duration depends on the growing and care conditions, providing the peony with the necessary soil moisture.
Application in design
In landscape design, the new product is used in a group of different varieties and as soloists in a flower bed. The following herbaceous perennials can be planted with Edens Perfum:
- Carl Rosenfield with ruby red inflorescences;
- Armani with raspberry color;
- Raspberry Carol;
- Roshi Plena – pink-red;
- Victor De La Marne - purple-violet;
- Henry - milkflowers.
In addition to adjacent plantings of various varieties, Edens Perfum looks great with geraniums, asters, and violets. You can safely plant foxglove next to the peony.Tall peduncles with small flowers will most emphasize the greatness of the peony. Peony harmonizes perfectly with catnip, mantle, speedwell, primrose and heuchera.
For decoration, designers set up a “peony garden” that blooms almost all summer. For this purpose, varieties with different flowering periods are selected.
Because of its size, Edens Perfum looks great in the background of flower beds, with lilies and rose bushes planted in the foreground. But planting a peony in a flowerpot is problematic. It is difficult to imagine what size a pot should be to accommodate a three-year-old plant (and it blooms in the 3rd year), much less place it on the balcony.
Reproduction methods
There are several ways to propagate the herbaceous peony Aroma of Eden (Edens Perfume):
- To preserve all the characteristics of the variety, the herbaceous perennial is propagated by seeds. This method is used by breeders;
- dividing the bush. The method is applicable when the bush has formed at least seven true shoots. Duration of the procedure: end of August – beginning of September. The shoots are cut off, leaving 15 cm stumps. The rhizome is dug up with a large lump of earth, washed with a strong stream of water, and dried. Cut with a sharp knife into pieces with several growth points and young roots. All sections are treated with ash, fungicide, growth stimulator, then planted;
- propagation by root cuttings. In July, cuttings (shoots) are separated from the bush, shortening them to two leaves. Each cutting should have a root with a dormant bud carefully separated from the mother plant. They are planted for rooting in a separate bed, which is covered with mulch for the winter. Next, the seedlings are cared for as usual for peonies. Flowering occurs in the 5th year.
The most effective way to propagate peonies, allowing for early flowering, is to divide the bush. In this form, the planting material will take root faster.
The peony rhizome, washed from soil, is carefully cut into several parts.
Landing rules
Before planting the Edens Perfume variety, it is important to choose a location. The best areas for growth are well-lit areas with moisture-permeable, loose, nutritious soil. It is worth choosing loose fertile loams with a soil reaction from 6 to 6.5 PH.
The planting location should not be in the shade or in the wind, but limited space is also detrimental to the Edens Perfum peony.
The transplant is carried out after the Edens Perfume peony has completely faded and the fruit capsules have matured. Landing rules:
- When marking the area, you should take into account the further dimensions of the bush, so leave a distance between the holes of at least 1 meter.
- The hole is dug depending on the size of the planting material. They should be slightly larger than the rhizome.
- Leaf humus and compost are poured into the bottom of the hole, and a mound of sand is made on top.
- The seedling is carefully placed on the sand cushion, so that the buds, after shrinking, are deepened into the ground by 5 cm.
- Fill the soil with the soil removed from the hole manually, carefully compacting it between the roots with your fingers so that there are no voids left.
- Water the peony and add more soil if necessary. To protect the plant from the first frosts, the surface of the hole is thickly mulched.
A seedling is placed in a prepared hole with compost and sand and carefully buried, sprinkled with peat or mulch on top
It is important to plant Edens Perfum peonies responsibly; the peony variety requires this.
Aftercare
The main procedures are: watering, loosening, weeding, fertilizing, mulching.
Watering is carried out rarely, but with a large amount of water. Water Edens Perfume as the earthen ball dries out so that all the soil around the roots is saturated. During the season, the bush is supplied with water several times: in the spring, when the buds open and shoots appear, in the summer, during flowering. The peony is watered for the last time in the fall, when growth buds begin to form.
Weeding and loosening are of particular importance for growing a new variety. Weeding is carried out as weeds appear, but loosening is carried out only after watering to eliminate excess moisture. Loosening is not advisable in autumn and spring, so as not to damage the buds.
Be sure to remove weeds around the peony and loosen the soil
Varietal peonies are not demanding when it comes to organic matter, but they are worth pampering with minerals. Fertilizers are applied three times per season:
- When the first shoots appear, the peony requires a lot of nitrogen. Add ammonium nitrate.
- When budding occurs, the plant is fed with a full range of minerals, including nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium.
- When planting buds for the winter, potassium sulfate and superphosphate are placed under the peony.
Organic fertilizers, in the form of rotted leaf humus or compost, are applied during the spring awakening of the peony.
Preparing for winter
In autumn, dried shoots are cut off.But before that, they inspect for the presence of diseases and pests. If there are any, the tops are burned. When the dry twigs are clean, they are used for shelter.
Fallen leaves are removed from the tree trunk circle, which can serve as a shelter for unwanted insects and pathogens. The top is covered with peat and covered with spruce.
Pests and diseases
The Edens Perfume peony variety was bred by breeders to be highly resistant to diseases, but gray rot can still attack. It appears when the plant is not properly cared for: acidification, soil compaction, water stagnation.
Rust or spotting may also occur. To avoid the occurrence of diseases, preventive measures are carried out in a timely manner. In spring, the bushes are treated with copper sulfate and Bordeaux mixture. If the bush is severely infected, they turn to industrial fungicides for help.
As a result of increased humidity, brown spotting appears on the plant.
Less commonly, pests such as aphids, mites, and thrips can be found on the plant. Timely treatment with insecticides will save the buds and foliage of the peony bush.
Conclusion
Peony Edens Perfum is a new variety that has managed to establish itself as a particularly resistant plant to lodging, severe frosts, attacks by pests and diseases. Today it is actively used in landscape design and arrangement of personal garden beds. The choice falls in favor of the peony variety Edens Perfum, thanks to its beauty and unpretentiousness of cultivation.
