Lovely pink flowers that open into flat domes with large guard petals and shorter inner petals forming a shallow central bowl. Upright stems. One of the last to flower. Late season.
Peonies will grow in most soils as long as they are not wet, including clay soils. They require a sunny or partially shaded site. Herbaceous peonies need to be planted with the eye (the dormant pink buds) no more than 2.5cm below the surface of the soil. Do not mix manure in the soil before planting as this may rot the eyes.
