✂️ Care
A hardy and easy-to-grow peony. Stake the stems in spring to support the abundant flowers.
Water regularly during dry periods. Remove faded flowers to prolong blooming and encourage better branching.
After flowering, cut the stems back to about 20 cm from the ground to encourage vigorous regrowth the following year. Remove dead foliage in autumn after frost. This peony requires little maintenance once established and can live for several decades in the same spot, becoming an essential focal point in the garden.
