Paeonia Duchesse de Nemours - White - Set of 3 - Peony - ⌀9cm - Height 0-40cm

Not many plants out here can produce such impressive flowers as the peony. The peony is part of the Paeoniaceae family. Almost all peonies originate from Asia. This flower is named after Paeon, the physician to the Greek gods. The peony is considered a symbol of love, happiness, health, prosperity and romance. This peony grows beautiful, big, white flowers during the period from May to June. The species is similar to the rose family because of its brightly coloured flowers. Furthermore, the peony is perfect for in the garden as well as being placed in bouquets. As long as the peony is in a slightly moist soil it is very hardy (up to about -10 degrees). In autumn-winter, the tuber dies off above ground and will hardly develop, if at all. So don't stress when you only see a piece of tuber in the pot, this is perfectly normal. Underground, however, a lot is going on. New stems are forming there on which the flowers will appear in spring.

Care
Peonies like a lot of sunlight because they are a hard blooming species, with the result that the flowers also need a lot of water. So it is recommended to water them daily, especially during the warmer seasons. Furthermore, it is best to prune the plant when it has finished blooming, approximately in July. Then cut the flowers just above the ground. This avoids the risk of mold. It is also advisable to support the flowers with a stick or clip. This makes the peonies stand stronger.
