A joyous early variety of Peony, that will thrill with large blousy double soft pink blooms that darken towards the centre. Add to this a heady spicy scent for an exquisite experience.More compact that some, growing to a mature height of 70cm with a spread of 50cm, Paeonia lactiflora 'Alertie' is ideal for a smaller garden or perfect in a container on the patio as well as in a sunny garden border. Perfect for a cutting garden, flowering in May and June, the blooms sit on shorter stems making them a dreamy addition to an arrangement.Thriving in a sheltered sunny or partially sunny spot, in moist, well-drained soil, 'Alertie' will be loved by bees and pollinators. Classed as an H6, hardy herbaceous perennial, stems will die back in the autumn, with fresh new growth the following spring. No additional winter protection is required.
