Paeonia Lactiflora Angel Cheeks | 4L Pot

Good for cut flowers too. Position: full sun or partial shade Soil: fertile, moisture-retentive yet well-drained Rate of growth: average Flowering period: May to June Hardiness: fully hardy A showy perennial for early summer, the fully double pink flowers look wonderful in the border, and last well in a vase if they are cut while still in bud. Its soft colouring will mix easily into most colour schemes, but it looks particularly good with deep plum and shades of purple. This paeonia has been field grown, however in order to keep the roots hydrated and promote fresh new growth, we have potted them up. Therefore, your plant may not have a well developed root system just yet, so you should not worry if the soil falls away when you are planting it out. Garden care: Deadhead after flowering. In early spring apply a balanced slow-release fertiliser around the base of the plant and mulch with well-rotted compost or manure.
