Overview

Brilliant crimson-pink double flowers, touched with silver, from early to midsummer and deep green leaves. This is one of the most popular peonies grown for cut flowers, and it's an old favourite from the nineteenth century. It looks lovely in a partially sunny border with foxgloves and plants with sword-like foliage, such as day lilies.

Care guide

Deadhead after flowering. In early spring apply a balanced slow-release fertiliser around the base of the plant and mulch with well-rotted compost or manure. Fungal diseases may occur in cool, wet springs so prune out any affected parts and spray the remaining sections with fungicide.

How your order will arrive

Pots and Packaging
Bare root plants are either wrapped in plastic bags or waxed paper where possible and then placed into a cardboard box.

Preparation
The nursery will ensure the plant is moist while it's waiting to be picked up. Our quality control team waters the plant before packing them where necessary to make sure that the plant is suitably watered for transport. Plants with long delicate stems are secured with canes to prevent damage.

Plant on Arrival
Typically plants are delivered ready to plant and will take some time to settle, grow and look more like the product image above.
