Taylors Bulbs - Shirley Temple Paeonia

The 'Shirley Temple' variety of Peony has been chosen by Taylors Bulbs to be part of their Select Range due to its fragrant flowers; the fluffy blooms appear later than most other peony varieties, appearing blush pink at first before slowing fading to a stunning white colouring.

Growing to a height of 80cm, the flowering period for peonies is incredibly brief, but the blooms are sure to add a beautiful pop of colour to the back of beds or borders. Once cut, they also look stunning as part of floral displays or bouquets.

Key Information:

• Blush pink blooms which fade to white
• Great for borders and as cut flowers

Advice & Tips:

• Plant peony bulbs in rich, well-drained soil, with each bulb covered by approximately 5-10cm of soil and 60cm away from other bulbs.
• During the first year, water the bulbs regularly, applying a general fertiliser each Spring.
• The flowers should be removed as they fade at the end of flowering season.
• Peonies are fully hardy, dying down during the autumn and staying dormant in the soil until the next spring.
