This magnificent tree peony bursts forth with head-turning, voluminous blooms that catch and hold the eye.
Paeonia × suffruticosa 'Ying Hong Qiao Dui' delivers spectacular double-form flowers in delicate pink, each blossom unfurling like a sumptuous silk pompom with intricately ruffled petals surrounding a mesmerising centre of golden stamens.
These lightly fragrant, oversized flowers emerge in late spring, creating dramatic focal points that invite close inspection and can be cut for stunning indoor arrangements, transforming this Oriental shrub from mere garden resident to indoor horticultural artistry.
Our woody-stemmed peonies are field-grown, sturdy plants with extensive roots that have been potted up since lifting in the Autumn. When purchasing earlier in the season (Feb-March) the root system should be well developed although you may find some compost falls away when you are planting them out and this is perfectly natural for the time of year.

When purchasing earlier in the season (Feb-March) the root system should be well developed although you may find some compost falls away when you are planting them out and this is perfectly natural for the time of year.
In the early spring, our potted bare root plants can be lightly rooted so can be kept in their pots for a few weeks, or planted out, avoiding frosty or waterlogged conditions taking care not to damage the emerging roots.
Plant into well-prepared soil enriched with plenty of organic matter, and like herbaceous peonies, make sure that the highest bud on the crown is no deeper than 5cm (2in) below the soil surface as this will reduce flowering. In growth, keep well fed and watered, and remove spent flowers after they have faded.
In each subsequent spring, apply a balanced slow-release fertiliser around the base of the plant and lightly mulch with well-rotted compost or manure but not too deeply as this can smother the roots and reduce blooming.
Older stems have a tendency to become brittle and snap so cut these back by a third or to the ground in autumn every two or three years. Tree peonies are deep-rooted, and do not make good plants for containers.
