Peony Duchesse De Nemours - Bare Roots
Peony 'Duchesse de Nemours' is a traditional variety with fragrant, fully double blooms. Its large white flowers can reach 15-20cm (6-8in) across and are blushed lightly with yellow giving them a delicate ivory glow.The outer petals are rounded and frame the ruffled inner petals beautifully, plus this peony is said to smell very much like Lily of the Valley, making it a fragrant addition to any garden.Contrasting with the flowers beautifully, the green leaves form a good-sized clump and will remain attractive right up to the first frost, when it colours up magically for renewed seasonal interest.Perfect as a specimen plant or in groups, especially lining a path or dotted through a cottage garden, the fabulous blooms make great cut flowers too.Fully deserving its coveted RHS Award of
