Paeonia lactiflora ‘Monsieur Jules Elie’

THESE BULBS WILL ARRIVE IN OCTOBER 2024.
(1888) Very large, pink, double flowers.
These beauties could use some support!
The flowers retain their colour well even in the sun, have a wonderful fragrance and bloom from late May. Beautiful as a floating flower! 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:
On clay, growth is problem-free; do not fertilize too much 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 replanted or renewed slightly earlier.

Place peonies in a sunny spot, plant them (immediately after arrival) shallowly so that only a few cm of soil covers the buds, first firming 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. Colours may vary slightly per year and depend on the preceding winter cold. Because we have to wait until the plants have died back naturally, the rhizomes are only available FROM OCTOBER at the earliest.
