Paeonia lactiflora ‘Diana Parks’

(1942) (breeder: Bockstone) This variety is closely related to the old cottage peony and has a beautiful, deep red double flower form. What makes this cultivar a favorite among many garden enthusiasts is its strikingly pleasant fragrance!

After years of experience in the Netherlands, our breeder 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-fertilize and ensure good drainage.
In sandy soil, the plants remain somewhat smaller; sufficient fertilization keeps the plant healthy.
In peat soil, growth is generally good, but the plants will need to be transplanted 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 been growing 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 may vary slightly from year to year and depend on the preceding winter cold. Because we have to wait for the plants to die back naturally, the roots are available EARLIEST FROM OCTOBER.
