You Garden Peony 'Bowl of Beauty' 3 x Bare Roots

Without doubt, one of the most impactful and beautiful perennial plants you can grow, the simply huge and striking two-tone flowers of Peony Bowl of Beauty are a spring joy to behold. Peonies are bang on trend at present and make great flowers for the vase too - cut when the buds are just about to open.

Despite their looks, they are very robust and weatherproof - needing perhaps a little support when mature in exposed spots, as their flowers are just so big - up to 25cm across when open. They establish slowly into large clumps over years, if not decades, to create a real feature.

Grow in garden soil, in most spots, but avoid very boggy or very sandy areas, and fertilise well when they grow. New shoots emerge quickly in late March, and flower in May and June. In late summer, they die back and are dormant - the best time to lift and transplant.

Hardy, easy, spectacular, - a real Bowl of Beauty for sure.

Supplied as a pack of three dormant bare roots, grade 1. Ready to plant straight out in garden borders in autumn or early spring, each with two to three nose roots on arrival.
