I have worked with A.D.R. Bulbs for almost 5 years now, and my company has sourced bulbs with them for longer than that. Communication is great - from ordering, to deliveries, to follow-ups on final product. I love the quality of the product as well as the service. We plant nearly 100,000 bulbs and A.D.R. keeps the whole process easy for us!

Paeonia 'Blaze' (Ships in Spring)
Garden Peony
Introduced in 1939 by American breeder Glasscock, Paeonia ‘Blaze’ is a classic single‑flowered variety valued for its vivid, glowing red blooms. The flowers open in late spring with broad, lightly cupped petals surrounding a bright cluster of golden stamens, creating a clean, striking contrast that reads beautifully in the landscape. Its simple form and saturated color make it especially effective in mass plantings or mixed borders where clarity and visibility matter. The plant forms a sturdy, upright clump of deep green foliage that remains attractive through summer. While not an award winner, ‘Blaze’ has earned long‑standing popularity for its reliability, strong garden performance, and bold early‑season color. Thriving in full sun with fertile, well‑drained soil, it is a durable, long‑lived choice for both traditional and contemporary plantings.

Growing and Maintenance Tips for Paeonia 'Blaze' (Ships in Spring)
Planting: Plant as early in spring as the soil can be worked—ideally before daytime temperatures consistently exceed 70°F. Set the crown 1 to 2 inches below the soil surface. Avoid planting too deep, as this can delay or prevent blooming.
Spacing: Space plants 2.5 to 3 feet apart to allow for mature spread and good air circulation.
Light: Full sun (6–8 hours daily) is best. In warmer zones, light afternoon shade can help reduce heat stress.
Soil: Rich, well-drained 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 3–8. Spring-planted peonies may take longer to establish and bloom, especially in warmer zones.
Fertilization: Hold off on fertilizing until the second year. Focus on root development in year one.
Staking: Large double blooms may need support. Install peony rings or discreet stakes early in the season.
Pruning: Deadhead spent blooms. Cut foliage to the ground in fall after frost.
Propagation: Divide clumps only if necessary, and only in fall—peonies dislike disturbance.
Pest & Disease: Generally pest-free. Good air circulation helps prevent botrytis blight. Avoid overhead watering.
