Paeonia lactiflora ‘Lady Alexandra Duff’

(1902) Captivating two-tone: silver-pink petals with a creamy white, fully double centre, completely unique! The plant is 90cm tall, and because many (less double) side flowers also develop after the main bloom, the plant has a very long flowering period from late May.

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, plant them (immediately upon arrival) so shallowly that only a few cm of soil covers the buds, and firm the soil first.
We supply bare root tubers; each plant has been growing 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 until the plants have died off naturally, the tubers are available EARLIEST FROM OCTOBER.
