Description
Get set for a splashy scene of salmon-pink blooms in late spring with this perfectly pretty Peony 'Etched Salmon'. A rare and sought after variety loved for its gentle colour, petal-packed flower form and beautiful fragrance, you can plant this special peony and look forward to a real treat each year when it bursts into bloom. Of course, not only is it a charm to have in the garden but the loosely ruffled flowers of Paeonia 'Etched Salmon' inject the most luxurious peony-power into floral arrangements.
Aside from its obvious good looks being a benefit, Peony 'Etched Salmon' is easy to grow too. Being a hardy perennial, it’s very low maintenance and will require very little in terms of care to perform well. Give it a sunny position in a border with free-draining soil and water when dry. Then, once it’s settled in, Paeonia 'Etched Salmon' can be left virtually to its own devices. Peonies take a little time to establish to full size and don’t always flower in the first year, but you will see this salmon-pink peony grow back bigger and stronger each year and it’ll produce more blooms as it matures too!

Useful information
-
Soak your Paeonia 'Etched Salmon' roots in water for 3-6 hours prior to planting.
Plant your bare roots into temporary pots with a multipurpose compost in spring and grow-on in a sheltered spot outdoors.
Choose a pot which comfortably fits the bare roots. Some have a noticeable crown which should be just below the soil surface with any top growth exposed.
Plant out into borders or permanent containers in late spring or early summer once in full growth. Choose a position in sun or shade depending on the variety.
