Description

Ah, the majestic Peony 'King's Day'—delicate pastel petals that bow down to welcome the morning sun. It is a relatively new semi-double hybrid, but an old royal in terms of quality that never fails. As much as it shares uncanny similarities with its peers, its stems rather sturdy, its petals pastel pinks and yellows, and the plant itself vividly prolific in growth, Paeonia 'King's Day' stands above the rest.

Gloriously heavy-stemmed and robust, it's a wondrous sight to behold! Peony 'King's Day' is certainly a choice selection for florists, a unique yet similar relative of the beloved Peony 'Coral Sunset'. It's no surprise that P. 'King's Day' is gaining in popularity, what with its superior growing ability allowing for an abundance of cut flowers. So why wait any longer to experience the marvel that is this pastel-coloured hybrid? Get your hands on one while you can, because what a bloom it will certainly be!

Useful information

    • Soak the Paeonia 'King's Day' 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. Some varieties are a length of root which should be planted lengthways and shallowly (1-2cm deep).

    • 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.
