paeony or peony collection
Create a breathtaking display with this peony collection, combiningaward-winning, luxurious, oversized blooms in soft pinks and vibrant corals.
Perfect for adding a touch of romance to borders or cutting gardens, thesepeonies offer a stunning blend of classic charm and bold colour. Ideal forcreating show-stopping floral arrangements or simply enjoying in the garden.
Peonies are loved for their bold, dissected foliage and extremely beautiful,showy flowers, which are ideal for adding colour to mixed, herbaceous or shrubborders in spring and summer.
Originating from woodland clearings, grasslandand meadows, the tuberous roots of the herbaceous forms act as storagetissue, which allows the mature plants to become drought tolerant onceestablished. They will thrive in deep fertile soils that are moist but welldrained, and although tolerant of some light shade, they perform best in fullsun.
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.
