Japanese Tree Peonies really are one of the most majestic garden plants you can grow when in full Summer flower
- the huge pink papery flowers covering the tree. Yet despite their fine foliage & paper-thin flowers, they are very robust & very hardy, & surprisingly easy to grow
- although patience helps too, as they can be slow to really get going for a year or two after initial planting. Modern varieties are grafted, & all produce their classic huge flowers, up to 20cm (8in) across in late Spring & summer. Plant straight into deep, well-drained soils (avoid growing in pots for best results), they are fairly fuss free, & will produce flowers from 2-3 years' time. Supplied as an established plant in a 3L pot, approx. 30-50cm tall, ready to plant out.
