They are actually replacements: Tourangelle, Moonstone and Paul M. Wild. I surrounded many of my peonies with chionodoxa sardensis and allium karataviense. The chionodoxa provided an early season deep blue color and the allium k lasted for many weeks.

Last year (I moved three years ago and was trying to redo some peonies) I put in multiple Festiva Maximas and Cornelia Shaylors - two of my favorites, Mrs. FDR, and Philippe Rivoire. I brought Burma Joy, Lady Alexandra Duff and Kansas from home. Yes, all red, shades of pink and white! I'm a cool color gal.

I loved growing salvia tesquicola and allium christophii with my peonies. These are at my former home. The first picture is a very young Lady Alexandra Duff. The second is Cornelia Shaylor. A HUGE peony with tons of secondary buds (get out the super supports - but worth it!).
