We love the selection of bulbs available from A.D.R. The variety is great, the quality is excellent and the price is fair. However, the best part of working with A.D.R is the customer service from Chris, Walter and all of the team. They go out of their way to make sure ours needs are met.

Peony 'Julia Rose' is an Itoh hybrid with large, 4–6 inch single to semi-double blooms that change color over time. The flowers open in cherry red, transition to orange and apricot with purple-flushed edges, and finally fade to yellow, often displaying multiple colors at once. Standing up to 28 inches tall, its lightly fragrant flowers appear in late spring to early summer on sturdy stems that require no staking. This vigorous perennial thrives in full sun to part shade with rich, well-drained soil, and its lush, dark green foliage remains attractive throughout summer. Ideal for borders, cottage gardens, and cut flower arrangements, it offers a long vase life.

Planting: Soak roots in water for 1–2 hours before planting to rehydrate them. Plant as early in spring as the soil is workable—ideally before daytime temperatures consistently exceed 70°F. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root system. Position the crown so the pink “eyes” (buds) sit just below the soil surface: Zones 2–4: 2 inches deep, Zones 5–6: 1 inch deep, Zones 7–8: ½ inch deep.
Spacing: Space plants 3 feet apart to allow for mature spread and airflow.
Light: Full sun (6+ hours daily) is ideal. In hot climates, morning sun with light afternoon shade helps preserve blooms.
Soil: Well-drained, fertile soil with a neutral pH (6.5–7.0). Amend with compost and grit if needed to improve drainage.
Watering: Water deeply after planting and keep soil evenly moist (not soggy) through the first growing season.
Temperature & Humidity: Hardy in USDA zones 4–9. Spring-planted Itohs may take longer to establish and bloom but will thrive long-term.
Fertilization: Hold off on fertilizing until the second year. In year one, focus on root development.
Staking: Itohs have sturdy stems but may benefit from support in windy sites.
Pruning: Cut stems to the ground in late fall after frost. Unlike tree peonies, Itohs die back completely.
Propagation: Divide only if necessary, and only in fall—these long-lived plants resent disturbance.
Pest & Disease: Generally pest-free. Good air circulation helps prevent botrytis blight. Avoid overhead watering.
