Paeonia lactiflora
NOT TO TAS, WA
- Herbaceous peony
- Fully double white flowers
- Good cut flower
An herbaceous peony with fully double white flowers that have a light blush of green at the base of the petals. The large (10-15cm) flowers have a sweet strong perfume, and are excellent as cut flowers. Bred in 1856, this popular, mid-season flowering variety grows 70-90cm tall and holds the RHS Award of Garden Merit.
Herbaceous peonies are vigorous bushy perennials that flower prolifically in late spring and early summer. The large opulent flowers, resembling fully-open roses, last well as cut flowers. Young plants take 2-3 years, depending on growing conditions, to fully establish their roots. During this time they may only put up one or a few flowers, but once established, plants will flower prolifically and will continue to do so for many years. They grow and flower best in cooler regions that have cold winters. Plants are deciduous so will die down over winter before forming a leafy clump the following spring.
Herbaceous peonies grow from a tuberous root which is a modified root that acts as a storage organ for the following season’s growth. They are thick and fleshy, and crown tissue near the end that was attached to the old plant produces buds that develop into stems and leaves. The other end of the root produces new roots which absorb nutrients and anchors the plant in the soil. Plants with tuberous roots can be propagated by division of the roots, ensuring that each piece has some crown tissue.
