Prized for their big, glamorous blooms and glossy, deeply cut foliage, it's easy to see why peonies are held in such high regard by many gardeners. From early spring, when their red-mottled shoots push through the bare earth and quickly unfurl to handsome foliage, to early summer, when the huge flowers burst open from spherical red buds, peonies exert a fascination that few can resist. With its deep red semi-double flowers, 'Buckeye Belle' is a head-turning, early-flowering variety, that will add depth and drama to the border or vase.

All of our peonies are field grown. We supply potted plants throughout the year, and subject to availability during the dormant winter months, we also offer bare-root plants (or tubers). If buying a potted plant, please keep in mind that some of the compost may still be a little loose, falling away when the plant is removed from the pot.


  • Garden care:
    Bare root plants should either be potted up or planted out as soon as possible while avoiding frosty or waterlogged conditions. Plant all peonies into well-prepared soil, making sure that the highest bud on the crown is no deeper than 5cm (2in) below the soil surface. In growth, keep well fed and watered, and remove spent flowers after they have faded. In each subsequent spring, apply a balanced slow-release fertiliser around the base of the plant and mulch with well-rotted compost or manure.
