A delicious peony that is beautiful in the garden and excels as a cut-flower. Deer resistant, garden peonies are easy to grow and provide a 3-4 week period of flowers. When done flowering, peonies offer lush, green foliage that can serve as a backdrop for other perennials, hardy roses or annuals.
At our farm we grow peonies in a row along a fence line to serve as a flowering border, making cutting flowers for early summer bouquets a breeze. Paeonia (Garden Peonies) are classic and essential components of the spring landscape. Easy to grow and care for once established, they will grow for generations of gardeners and become treasured family members.
- NOMENCLATURE NOTES: 'Peaonia' (Named in honor of Paeon, Physician of the Gods in Greek mythology) and 'lactiflora' (milk-like flowers, possibly referring to the ant-attracting nectar produced by peonies, or to the milky-white flower of the unselected species). Grown and shipped in a 1 gallon nursery trade container.
Tips for Growing Bowl of Beauty Peony:
- Plant in full sun in well drained soil. Peonies are long-lived plants, so prepare the planting hole with substantial amounts of compost, and blend in a high quality slow-release organic fertilizer, like Down-To-Earth Rose and Flower Food.
- When planting container grown peonies, dig the hole slightly larger that the container and place the soil line of the peony plant even with the ground. Back-fill and water in well. When planting bare root, Plant the "red eyes" or growing points no deeper than 2" deep.
- Peonies do not like to be moved, and may not bloom the same year that they are moved or planted.
- Trim back spent blooms during the flowering period to encourage larger flowers.
