✂️ Care
Hardy and easy to grow peony. Stake stems in spring to support the generous, delicately fragrant, semi-double bright red to scarlet petals, which are highly prized by florists.
Water regularly during dry periods. Remove spent flowers to prolong blooming and encourage better branching.
After flowering, cut stems back to about 20 cm (8 inches) from the ground to encourage vigorous regrowth the following year. Remove dead foliage in autumn after the first 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.
