About Peony 'Command Performance'

Paeonia 'Command Performance' is a fragrant, midseason herbaceous hybrid peony with large cardinal-red flowers. The [American Peony Society registry]() records 30–32 inches in height and identifies Hollingsworth as originator; the [breeder's cultivar page]() describes its red bomb-shaped flowers and cut-flower use. ## Flowers and habit The registry describes a fragrant globe-shaped flower and midseason bloom. The [RHS profile]() characterizes the plant as clump-forming, with large fragrant red flowers in early summer and a mature height and spread of 0.5–1 m. The cultivar name is preserved without inferring a species parent. ## Growing conditions The breeder recommends full sun and fertile, well-drained soil, and reports USDA hardiness zones 3–7. It cautions against overwatering and waterlogged soil. The flower stems may need mechanical support under the heavy blooms, as noted by the [breeder](). ## Maintenance Water to establish the plant, then avoid keeping the root area saturated. Provide discreet support as flower stems develop if they begin to bend. After the foliage dies back in autumn, cut the stems to the ground according to the [RHS profile]().
