✂️ Care
Hardy and easy-to-grow peony. Stake the stems in spring to support the generous and spectacular flowers.
Water regularly during dry periods. Deadhead spent flowers to prolong blooming and encourage better branching.
After flowering, cut 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.
