Herbaceous peonies are a timeless classic perennial plant for the garden. Their flowers can be single, semi-double or fully double and many are beautifully scented. There are a range of colours from deep purple to pure white and they are definitely one of the most showy flowers in the garden with large blooms. Peonies can be early, mid or late flowering which means you can enjoy their blooms from May to July. Peonies are long-lived, lasting for decades; they will die down in the winter and re-emerge the following spring to produce an even better display than the previous year. Shop Herbaceous Peonies

Intersectional peonies (or Itoh peonies) are unusual, relatively rare and very interesting, they are a cross between an herbaceous peony and a tree peony. Intersectional peonies, like all peonies, are highly collectable. They are the most beautiful peonies, sometimes lightly fragrant, with large (dinner-plate) sized flowers in a diverse range of colours and flowers, from single to double. Intersectional peonies often flower for a slightly longer period (4 - 5 weeks) than herbaceous peonies and enjoy masses of flowers. They are reasonably compact, growing to about 75cm tall on average and they require little or no support at all (because of their tree peony framework). Intersectional peonies will die down in the winter and return in the Spring and in the Autumn and Spring they usually have striking finely cut foliage that is green and red in colour.

Tree peonies are long-lived, deciduous shrubs. Tree Peonies have large, sometimes dinner plate size, flamboyant flowers, very often gorgeously scented, in various colours. Colours range from white through pink to dark red and purple; yellows are also available, along with the more unusual apricot shades. Tree peonies make a real statement in the garden. Tree peonies can grow up to 8 feet tall which makes them a fantastic addition to a sunny garden border, they do however respond well to pruning so if you wish to keep them smaller, prune back to woody stems in the Autumn.

What makes our Peonies so special

Why choose to grow A Primrose Hall Peony In your garden?

Patio peonies are the best choice for gardeners who would prefer their peonies to grow in containers. They are specially selected because of their compact growth habit and its ease of flowering in a pot, making them the perfect peonies for the patio, balcony or roof gardens. The peony plants themselves feature strong stems and upright flowers. They are also able to be planted in borders as they do well in any sunny position. The Patio varieties have various types of bloom shapes fully double, double and single flowers. Shop Patio Peonies

In 2019 our peonies were awarded a gold medal by the Royal Horticultural Society at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show. This was the first gold medal to be awarded for peonies at the show for 8 years. We nurture all of our plants until they are at least 5 years old ensuring they are well established mature flowering Paeonia plants when they are sent off to their new home. Once settled in your garden your peony plant should give you decades of flowers from its first flowering season.

• Primrose Hall Peonies are well-established and mature plants with a huge range of colours and flower shapes to choose from • Primrose Hall Peonies are EASY to grow and are LOW MAINTENANCE and don’t generally get troubled by slugs, snails, rabbits or deer

FAQ’S

Peonies are easy to grow and can live for decades, often 50 years+ in a garden. Peonies are very low maintenance and if you stick to some simple rules for growing them we are sure you will be able to grow your own healthy peonies with no trouble at all.

There are 3 simple rules to planting herbaceous peonies:

• Plant in full sun or part shade in a sheltered position
• Any fertile soil will do, as long as it is free draining
• Plant herbaceous peonies with the crown (top of the root) no more than 5cm below the ground. With container grown plants, simply plant them at the same level they are in the pot they arrive in.

Most peonies will benefit from a general, balanced feed once a year in either the Spring or the Autumn.

You can feed a new peony when you are planting, mix the feed through your compost and add to the bottom of the hole to encourage root growth. When feeding your peony after it has been planted, you would loosen the soil around the peony and sprinkle the feed, mix lightly into the loose soil with your hands and then water the area so the feed can be absorbed into the soil to be most effective.

Once your peony is well-established in your garden you may wish to divide it. Some peonies can grow to about 90cm in diameter. It is a popular myth that peonies cannot be moved; if done properly then your peony will respond well to being divided and/or moved.

Once your peony has flowered you may wish to dead-head the blooms. Dead-heading your peony is not essential but it will keep the plant looking tidy and encourage further root growth.
