Sorbet Paeonia Collection | Paeony Or Peony

The Sorbet Paeonia Collection blends soft and bold tones, combining the rose pink blooms of Paeonia 'Sarah Bernhardt', the rich magenta flowers of 'Karl Rosenfield', and the pure white elegance of 'Duchesse de Nemours'.

Flowering from early to midsummer, this trio creates a vibrant display reminiscent of summer sorbets, with lush, double blooms and a sweet fragrance.

Peonies are loved for their bold, dissected foliage and extremely beautiful, showy flowers, which are ideal for adding colour to mixed, herbaceous or shrub borders in spring and summer.

Originating from woodland clearings, grassland and meadows, the tuberous roots of the herbaceous forms act as storage tissue, which allows the mature plants to become drought tolerant once established. They will thrive in deep fertile soils that are moist but well drained, and although tolerant of some light shade, they perform best in full sun.

Long-lived clump-forming perennials, they can resent being moved, although this can usually be done quite successfully if tackled in autumn. Some may require staking to support the weight of the flowers.
