Paeonia lactiflora ‘Monsieur Jules Elie’

(1888) Very large, pink, double flowers. 
These beauties could use a little support!
The flowers retain their colour well in the sun, smell wonderful and bloom from late May. Beautiful as a specimen plant! Height 100cm.

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:
In clay, growth is trouble-free; do not over-fertilise and ensure good drainage.
In sandy soil, the plants remain somewhat smaller; sufficient fertilising 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 and plant them (immediately upon arrival) so shallowly that only a few cm of soil covers the crown; firm the soil 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. Colours 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 bare roots are available EARLIEST FROM OCTOBER.
