Peonies are fascinating perennial plants. During spring, they are covered in large and spectacular flowers, ranging from white to delicate pink, from intense red to rare shades of yellow. Peonies are divided into tree peonies and herbaceous peonies. The latter lose their aerial vegetative part during winter and sprout new branches directly from the ground in spring.
In this section, you'll find Rose Barni's splendid herbaceous peonies, ready to add a touch of elegance to any garden or space.
How and where to plant peonies?
For peonies, the perfect spot is a sunny or partially shaded area in the garden. During the hottest hours, a little shade helps keep the petals, which are particularly delicate on peonies, fresh and in good condition. Indeed, even though peonies are very tolerant plants, they are better suited to partial sun conditions: partially shaded plants retain their green foliage longer and generally have fewer problems with foliar diseases.
If they remain in one place, they tend to grow very well. Therefore, our advice is not to transplant them too often.
Best time to plant peonies
The best time is in autumn, as this allows peonies to develop and branch their root system before the start of vegetative growth.
If you decide to plant in winter, it's important that the soil is not frozen during the day. After March, they can be planted out, but it's better if they have been grown in pots.
In any case, for peonies, the most hospitable soil is moderately clayey, well-drained, deep, and permeable.
When do peonies bloom?
In spring, the plant begins to develop its shoots, which will grow to a height of 60-100 cm. Flowering begins in May and lasts until the first days of June.
