Paeonia officinalis rosea plena Common Peony

(before 1800) This peony has been found in Dutch farm gardens for hundreds of years and is the earliest blooming (early May) double peony. The stems grow only 50-60 cm high, but sometimes still need support.

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 problem-free; do not fertilize too much and ensure good drainage.
In sandy soil, the plants remain somewhat smaller; sufficient fertilization 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 eyes, and firm the soil first.
We supply bare root tubers; each plant has grown for 4-5 years, so the chance of quick blooming is high! Some varieties grow into their intended (double) form as they get older. Colors 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.
