Product description
Peony is one of the most showy and beautiful variety of garden flowers available. Also commonly referred to as Peonies, Paeony or Paeonia, their large blossoms grow in abundance on small, bushy plants, providing a striking flower display throughout summer.
Choose between the classical pink peony cultivar, stunning crimson red or frothy, pure white blossoms.
Plant your Peonies in moist, well-drained soil, in full of partial sun. They will tolerate most soil types. Although each flower’s blooming period is, sadly, relatively short, they bloom at different times, prolonging the overall flowering period.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Instructions
Top Tip
Peonies perform best when left undisturbed for several years, so choose their planting location carefully.
How to Water
Water peonies deeply, especially in dry periods, but avoid overwatering, as they prefer slightly dry conditions. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot. Mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
How to Plant
Plant peonies in a sunny location with well-drained, fertile soil. Dig a hole about 60cm wide and deep, place the peony so the buds are 3-5cm below the soil surface, and backfill with soil. Space plants about 90cm apart for good air circulation.
