Peony Noemie Demay, a classic herbaceous variety introduced in 1867 by French breeder François Calot, is an enchanting heirloom (also known as 'Pêcher' or 'Fleur de Pécher') celebrated for its delicate color evolution and petite charm. Its large, fully double flowers, spanning 6–8 inches across, open in a soft apple-blossom pink, gradually fading to nearly pure white with occasional red flares in the center, evoking the ethereal beauty of a peach blossom in gentle bloom. The densely packed, ruffled petals form a high-crowned, globular shape with a petticoat of guard petals, creating an airy, romantic effect. Each flower releases a strong, heady sweet fragrance with rosy notes, perfuming the air and making it a favorite for cut flowers. With multiple blooms per stem, Noemie Demay delivers a radiant early-season display lasting 2–3 weeks, ideal for borders, bouquets, or small-space landscapes.
This variety is as practical as it is enchanting, blending heirloom aesthetics with reliable performance. Its sturdy, upright stems, reaching 60–70 cm, support the blooms through rain or wind without staking, ensuring a pristine presentation in USDA zones 3–8. Thriving in full sun to light shade with fertile, well-drained soil, Noemie Demay establishes readily with moderate watering and becomes drought-tolerant and pest-resistant once mature, promising decades of effortless beauty. The glossy, dark green foliage forms a compact mound up to 70 cm wide, remaining attractive through summer and transitioning to subtle bronze tones in autumn for year-round appeal. Ideal for mixed borders, as a long-lasting cut flower with a 7–10 day vase life, or as an elegant accent in cottage or formal gardens, Peony Noemie Demay infuses spaces with serene sophistication and timeless charm.

Will it flower in the first year?
Peonies take time to settle. A 3–5 eye root builds a strong plant in its first year and usually flowers from the 2nd or 3rd year, then every year for decades. If your peony has not grown or flowered although you followed our planting instructions, our 100% flowering guarantee applies: we replace it or refund you.

Guide and tips for planting peony roots
- Choose a sunny spot in your garden with well-draining soil.
- Dig a hole that is 2-3 times wider than the peony root and deep enough to accommodate it comfortably.
- Mix some compost or other organic matter into the soil at the bottom of the hole.
- Place the root in the hole with the eyes (small buds) facing up. For herbaceous and Itoh peonies, the eyes should be 2–5 centimeters below the soil surface; plant tree peonies at the depth they grew in the nursery.
- Fill the hole with soil and gently firm the soil around the root.
- Water the soil until it is evenly moist.
- Cover the area with a layer of mulch to help retain moisture and suppress weeds.
- Water the plant regularly, making sure not to let the soil dry out completely.
- As the plant grows, provide support to the stem to prevent it from bending or breaking.
- After the flowers have faded, cut the stem off at the base and continue to care for the plant by watering it regularly and providing it with full sun or partial shade.
