Paeonia lactiflora 'Queen Wilhelmina'

(1912) Despite its good growing characteristics, this somewhat older variety is still little known. The fragrant, pink double flowers stand out with the white edge of the petals. Beautiful plant form with branches approx. 70 cm long. We compensate for the sometimes rather slow growth in young plants by supplying a larger plant. Blooms 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 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 after arrival) so shallowly that only a few cm of soil covers the crown, and press the soil down first.
We supply bare roots; 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 roots are available EARLIEST FROM OCTOBER.
