Paeonia Lactiflora Doctor Alexander Fleming | 4L Pot

A stunning double pink peony. Position: full sun or partial shade Soil: fertile, moisture-retentive yet well-drained Rate of growth: average Flowering period: June to July Hardiness: fully hardy Soft pink, fragrant, double summer flowers and mid green leaves. This magnificent flowering pink peony has been popular since the Edwardian era. To support the large flowers stake in spring using bamboo canes or metal link stakes. An excellent specimen plant for a partially sunny border. 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.
