Peony ‘London’ (Patio Peony)
Add a touch of peony elegance to even the smallest spaces with Peony London. While traditional herbaceous peonies are typically unsuitable for pots, Peony London has been specially bred to thrive in containers, offering a stunning, abundant display on a more compact plant. This variety forms tidy, bushy clumps of rich, deeply lobed, dark green foliage. Strong stems ensure that staking is unnecessary, and unlike traditional peonies whose heavy blooms tend to droop, the flowers of Peony London stand tall, their striking deep-pink double blooms remaining upright and creating a captivating display, even in low containers. Despite its more compact size, Peony London produces large, show-stopping blooms in profusion. These herbaceous peonies will thrive for a lifetime in your garden, delivering breathtaking late spring to early summer blooms year after year with minimal effort. Ideal for planting in both borders and containers, Peony London will add structure, colour, and glamour to your garden. It also makes an excellent choice for cut flowers, filling your home with their beauty. Height: 55cm (22in) Spread: 30cm (12in) Culinary note: Add the petals to salads for a touch of elegance, or cook them lightly and sweeten for a delightful treat. Peony water, once considered a delicacy, can also be made from the blooms and used to garnish punches.
