Characteristics

Paeonia ‘Joyful Romantic’ unfolds like a whispered promise—soft, structured, and unashamedly elegant. Its tall stems carry lush double blooms in a warm peach hue, kissed with cream and coral at the base. Each flower forms a full, rounded silhouette with gently ruffled petals that layer like silk folds, giving this early bloomer a timeless softness. Free of side buds and highly productive, Joyful Romantic brings visual volume without structural noise, ideal for cut flower growers and premium field displays. Introduced in 2019, this cultivar blends classic romance with hybrid precision.

Origin Joyful Romantic Peony

Created by Anderson of Swenson Gardens, Joyful Romantic is a product of careful hybridisation focused on height, bloom shape, and reliable early emergence. The influence of lactiflora is clear in the fullness of its flowers, while hybrid vigour ensures upright growth and uniformity. Its tall stems and warm-toned petals make it a standout in both structured planting designs and wholesale floristry. It’s a flower that offers more than charm—it offers consistency with poise.

HYBRID

Hybrid peonies like Joyful Romantic are selected for their clean growth, strong stems, and refined bloom behaviour. Unlike traditional types, hybrids deliver earlier flowering, fewer cultivation demands, and greater commercial predictability. This variety, with its no-nonsense stem habit and floral opulence, is ideal for those who need elegance to work as hard as it looks.

How to plant

What follows are the steps for planting Joyful Romantic peony roots:
Peonies flourish in locations with plenty of sunlight and well-draining soil. Choose a location that receives at least six hours of sunlight every day and has organic-rich soil. Create a hole that is 30 cm (12 inches) broad and 10 cm (4 inches) deep. To boost soil fertility, loosen the soil at the bottom of the hole with a garden fork or spade and mix in some compost or well-rotted manure. Remove any stones or trash and break up any clumps. Insert the peony root into the hole so that the eyes (or growth buds) face up and are no more than 5 cm (2 inches) below the soil surface. Backfill the hole with dirt, gently firming it down to remove any air pockets. Thoroughly water the newly planted peony root to help settle the dirt around the roots. Soak the soil around the plant using a watering can or hose, being careful not to wash it away. Mulch the plant’s base with a 5 to 7.5 cm (2 to 3 inch) layer of organic mulch, such as shredded bark or straw.
