Paeonia lactiflora 'Garden Lace' (peony 'Garden Lace')Luminous, airy, pink bloomsOne of our more diminutive varieties, the American bred Paeonia lactiflora 'Garden Lace' flowers from May to June, bearing fragrant, anemone-form flowers, soft pink with a central mass of yellow petaloids (narrow, crowded, petal-like structures). Foliage is dark green and deeply divided. A soft, delicate appearance belies the tough nature of this peony, which is derived from a species found growing wild in Siberia, Mongolia, China, and Tibet. This clump-forming herbaceous perennial makes a long-lived addition to the garden, though it is important to get the planting location right first time, as any form of disturbance is resented. Ideal for a mixed perennial border or planting around shrubs to provide lower storey interest. Peonies also make excellent cut flowers, lasting for around a week if cut in bud. Plant with a later flowering variety such as 'Dr Alexander Fleming' to extend your display. Prefers deep, fertile, humus-rich, moist, well-drained soil in full sun or part shade. H&S: 75cm x 75cm. Hardy herbaceous perennial.
