Here at Hayloft, we love it when the peonies start to bloom as it is a sure promise that summer is just around the corner. With Paeonia lactiflora 'Lancaster Imperial' as a signal - you will be further excited by its sweetly fragrant pom-pom, double blooms, held above lush, verdant foliage. The creamy white petals are reminiscent of frilly, linen petticoats swirling around a May pole - particularly as blooms emerge in April and May! A shorter variety of peony at just 65cm tall and wide - ideal for container planting or for the mid-tier of a border. Strong stems make flowers perfect when cut for a vase and equally suited to a special, celebratory bouquet.Plant Paeonia lactiflora 'Lancaster Imperial' in a spot which benefits from full sun or partial shade. Avoid a north-facing aspect and ensure your plant enjoys moist, well-drained, humus rich soil. Delivered as a bare root with 3-5 eyes, established plants are hardy, herbaceous perennials which do not need winter protection throughout t
