- Karl Rosenfield with ruby-red inflorescences;
- Armani with a crimson color;
- Crimson Carol;
- Rosi Plena - pink-red;
- Victor De La Marne - purplish violet

Reproduction methods
There are several ways of propagation of herbaceous peony Aroma of Eden (Edens Perfume):
- in order to preserve all the characteristics of the variety, the herbaceous perennial is propagated by seeds. This method is used by breeders;
- dividing the bush. The method is applicable when the bush has formed at least seven true shoots. Dates of the procedure: late August - early September. The shoots are cut, leaving stumps of 15 cm. The rhizome is dug out with a large clod of earth, washed with a strong stream of water, and dried. Cut with a sharp knife into pieces with several points of growth and young roots. All sections are treated with ash, fungicide, growth stimulant, then planted;
- propagation by root cuttings. In July, cuttings (shoots) are separated from the bush, shortening them to two leaves. Each cutting should have a root with a dormant bud neatly separated from the mother liquor. They are planted for rooting in a separate bed, which is covered with mulch for the winter. Further, the seedlings are looked after as usual for the peonies. Flowering begins in the 5th year.
The most effective way to reproduce peonies, allowing you to get early flowering, is to divide the bush. In this form, the planting material will take root faster.

The transplant is carried out after the Edens Perfume peony has completely faded, and the fruit pods are ripe. Landing rules:
- When marking the site, the further dimensions of the bush should be taken into account, therefore, leave a distance between the pits of at least 1 meter.
- A hole is dug depending on the size of the planting material. They should be slightly larger than the rhizome.
- Leaf humus, compost are poured at the bottom of the hole, and a bump of sand is made on top.
- A seedling is carefully placed on a sandy pillow, so that the buds after shrinkage are deepened into the ground by 5 cm.
- Fill in the soil taken out of the hole by hand, carefully tamping it with your fingers between the roots so that there are no voids left.
- The peony is watered, if necessary, fill up the earth. To protect the plant from the first frost, the surface of the hole is thickly mulched.

During the season, the bush is supplied with water several times: in the spring, when the buds open and shoots appear, in the summer, during flowering. The last time the peony is watered is in the fall, when the buds of growth are laid.
Weeding and loosening are of particular importance for growing a new variety. Weeding is carried out as weeds appear, but loosening is carried out only after watering in order to eliminate excess moisture. Loosening is undesirable in autumn and spring, so as not to damage the kidneys.
Around the peony, weeds must be removed and the soil is loosened
Varietal peonies are not demanding on organics, but they should be pampered with minerals. Fertilizers are applied three times per season:
- At the moment the first shoots appear, the peony needs a lot of nitrogen. Ammonium nitrate is introduced.
- When budding occurs, the plant is fed with a full range of minerals, including nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium.
- When laying the buds for the winter, potassium sulfate and superphosphate are placed under the peony.
Organic fertilizers, in the form of rotted leaf humus or compost, are applied during the spring awakening of the peony.
Preparing for winter
In the fall, dried shoots are cut off. But before that, they are examined for the presence of diseases and pests. If any, the tops are burned. When dry twigs are clean, they are used for cover.
Fallen leaves are removed from the trunk circle, which can serve as a shelter for unwanted insects, pathogenic microbes. Top covered with peat, covered with spruce.
