Paeonia lactiflora
A dream in white. This 'old' lady has been with us for over 150 years.
Dark green leaves offer a beautiful contrast to the white, double flowers. Its scent enchants every garden, but it also looks great in a vase.
Type: shrub
Height: 80 – 100 cm, calculate with 1 plant per square meter
Color: White
Location: Prefers sun, possibly fewer flowers in partial shade
Planting: Spring or fall planting.
Planting distance: approx. 1 m
Flowering: May/June, probably only flowers in the second year.

Tip: Do not plant too deep (2.5 to 5 cm below the surface). Peonies do not like to be moved and bloom more profusely when they stay in one place.
Peonies can live to a very old age.
Additional info: Some peonies do not bloom until their second year.
