Paeonia lactiflora 'Queen Wilhelmina'

THESE BULBS WILL ARRIVE IN OCTOBER 2024.
(1912) Despite its good plant characteristics, this older variety is still not widely known. The fragrant, pink double flowers stand out due to the white edge of the petals. Beautiful plant form with stems approx. 70 cm long. We compensate for the sometimes slow growth of young plants by supplying a larger plant. Flowers 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 soil types:
On clay, growth is problem-free; do not fertilize too much and ensure good drainage.
On sand, the plants remain somewhat smaller; sufficient fertilization keeps the plant healthy.
On peat soil, growth is generally good, but the plants will need to be replanted or renewed slightly sooner.

Place peonies in a sunny spot, plant them (immediately after arrival) so shallowly that only a few cm of soil covers the 'eyes', pressing the soil down first.
We supply bare roots; each plant has 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. Colors can vary slightly each year and depend on the preceding winter cold. Because we have to wait until the plants have naturally died back, the rootstocks are only available FROM OCTOBER at the earliest.
