Flowering Months

Bury your nose in lavish swirls of rich pink petals and inhale the sweet fragrance of Peony ‘Alexander Fleming’. An early to mid-season herbaceous variety with fully double flowers that can reach up to 20cm in diameter. Deeply lobed, dark green leaves form a verdant backdrop that highlights the exquisite beauty of the flowers. Herbaceous Peonies will last a lifetime in your garden, giving late spring displays of show-stopping, ruffled blooms each year for the minimum of effort. Plant them into the middle of herbaceous borders, where they will add structure, glamour and rich colour. They also make fabulous cut flowers. Height and spread: 90cm (35in).

Culinary note: The petals can be added to salads, or cooked slightly and sweetened for a treat. Peony water was also once considered a delicacy and the blooms can be floated in punches. For more details about edible flowers click here.

How to Grow

Grow peonies in a sunny or semi shaded position. They prefer a well drained, rich fertile soil. This is best achieved by adding with plenty of well rotted manure or compost to the soil prior to planting, ensuring that it is mixed in thoroughly and deeply. Plant herbaceous peonies at a depth of around 5cm (2") below the soil surface. Planting too deeply may delay flowering.

More Info

Water regularly until peony plants are fully established. Thereafter, herbaceous peonies require little maintenance and will grow happily for many years if left undisturbed. However, they will appreciate a mulch of well rotted manure or garden compost applied around the base of the plant in spring. Plants may take several years to establish before they produce their spectacular peony flowers.
