Paeonies are romantic, heirloom plants, often with glorious fragrance, and they grow and bloom for 75+ years. They are stunning plants that are a must in every garden. Their giant double blooms and lovely foliage make them a real head turner. Among the most beautiful hardy perennials grown, the giant flowered Paeonies come in a great range of colours in both doubles and singles.
When planting, dig a hole large enough to take the whole root easily but be sure the growth buds are about 4-5 cm below the surface. Place the Paeony root, and fill in, tamping the soil firmly around the roots. Try to avoid fertilizer coming in contact with the tender growth buds. In mid spring they come into growth very rapidly, but do not expect flowers the first Spring after planting. If there is a wet Spring, fungi attack can be a problem, but this is easily controlled with a general fungicide spraying 2-3 times 10 days apart on the soft Spring growth. Fertilize after flowering if necessary and each Autumn completely remove all foliage ready for new growth in the Spring.
