Paeonia lactiflora 'Gayborder June'

(1949) This Dutch variety stands out for its distinctive flower shape and fresh green foliage. The deliciously scented lilac-pink flowers with a light pink to white centre appear in late May on stems approximately 80 cm long.

After years of experience in the Netherlands, our grower has put together a TOP assortment of the most beautiful and successful peonies.

They grow in all types of soil:
In clay, growth is trouble-free; do not over-fertilise and ensure good drainage.
In sandy soil, the plants remain somewhat smaller; sufficient fertilising keeps the plant in good condition.
In peat soil, growth is generally good, but the plants will need to be replanted or replaced slightly earlier.

Place peonies in a sunny spot and plant them (immediately upon arrival) so shallowly that only a few cm of soil covers the crown; firm the soil first.
We supply bare root tubers; each plant has been grown for 4–5 years, so the chance of early flowering is high! Some varieties grow into their intended (double) form as they get older. Colours may vary slightly from year to year and depend on the preceding winter cold. Because we have to wait for the plants to die back naturally, the tubers are available EARLIEST FROM OCTOBER.
