The Madame Emile Debatene Peony is low maintenance and provides a bright burst of color during the late spring. Large double pink blooms have ruffled petals, creating a striking display. The flowers grow on tall stems with narrow, glossy dark green leaves. The Paeonia latifolia is a herbaceous perennial, meaning the greenery will completely die back in the fall, but this stunner will come back each spring.
Peonies look lovely in a bed, especially when planted with spring-blooming bulbs. Use this mounded plant to create a charming mass planting or border. Trim the stems to feature the beautiful flowers in an arrangement. The large, showy blooms of the Madame Emile Debatene Peony can also serve as a specimen planting. Pollinators, like butterflies, are drawn to the flowers. Grow this plant as a perennial in USDA growing zones 3 through 8.
Madame Emile Debatene Peony Care
Peony plants like full sun, so plant in an area that receives at least 6 hours of light. The soil should be rich, moist, but well-draining and have a neutral pH. Water this Peony when the top few inches of the soil dry out. Apply water to the ground around the plant, keeping the flowers and greenery dry as much as possible. Give this beauty a boost by applying a 10-20-20 fertilizer each spring.
The large flowers may topple the stems, especially after rainfall, so be ready to stake the plant, so the flowers remain upright and easy to admire. Trim away spent flowers to maintain a clean appearance. The growth will die back after the frost, so trim back the dead greenery in the fall and cover the roots with mulch.
Madame Emile Debatene Peony Spacing
This upright, mounded perennial will grow 18 to 24 inches tall and 34 to 36 inches wide. Plant Madame Emile Debatene Peony plants 36 inches apart to allow airflow between plants.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
