Paeonia lactiflora ‘Lady Alexandra Duff’

THESE BULBS WILL ARRIVE IN OCTOBER 2024.
(1902) Captivating two-tone: silver-pink petals with a creamy white, filled heart, absolutely unique! The plant is 90cm tall, and because many (less full) side flowers emerge after the main bloom, the plant has a very long flowering period from late May onwards.

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 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, but the plants will need to be transplanted or renewed slightly sooner.

Place peonies in a sunny spot, plant them (immediately upon arrival) shallowly so 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 get older. Colors can vary slightly year by year and depend on the preceding winter cold. Because we have to wait until the plants have naturally died back, the rhizomes will not be available UNTIL OCTOBER at the earliest.
