Paeonia lactiflora 'Buckeye Belle'

THESE BULBS WILL ARRIVE IN OCTOBER 2024.
(1956) This beauty owes its dark brown (Buck Eye) eyes to its very dark red colour with a chestnut brown glow. The flowers are semi-double and bloom on compact plants (60-80 cm), a slow grower. Blooms from mid-May.

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

They grow on all soil types:
On clay, growth is problem-free; do not over-fertilize and ensure good drainage.
On sand, the plants remain somewhat smaller; sufficient fertilization keeps the plant healthy.
On peat soil, growth is generally good; however, the plants will need to be transplanted or renewed a little sooner.

Place peonies in a sunny spot, plant them (immediately upon arrival) so shallowly that only a few cm of soil covers the "eyes," first pressing down the soil.
We supply loose rhizomes; each plant has grown for 4-5 years, so the chance of quick flowering is high! Some varieties grow into their intended (double) form as they age. Colours may vary slightly year to year and depend on the preceding winter cold. Because we have to wait until the plants have died off naturally, the rhizomes will not be available until OCTOBER AT THE EARLIEST.
