Paeonia lactiflora 'Buckeye Belle'

(1956) The ree brown eyes (Buck Eye) owe this beauty to its very dark red colour with a chestnut brown glow. The flowers are semi-double and bloom on compact plants (60-80 cm), which are slow growers. Flowering from mid-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:
In clay, growth is problem-free; do not over-fertilise and ensure good drainage.
In sand, the plants remain somewhat smaller; sufficient fertilisation 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 upon arrival) so shallowly that only a few cm of soil covers the buds, and firm the soil first.
We supply bare root tubers; 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 tubers are available EARLIEST FROM OCTOBER.
