This early-blooming and upright herbaceous peony enchants with its large, robust, semi-double flowers in a soft lemony-yellow hue, complemented by golden stamens and a delightful spicy fragrance. ‘Lemon Chiffon’ boasts attractive, dissected foliage that emerges with a reddish tinge in spring before maturing to a rich dark green. Flowering in late spring, this variety combines the charm of a classic peony with a unique colour palette, making it a standout choice for perennial borders, cottage gardens, or as a focal point in garden designs.
All of our peonies are field grown. We supply potted plants throughout the year, and subject to availability during the dormant winter months, we also offer bare-root plants (or tubers). If buying a potted plant, please keep in mind that some of the compost may still be a little loose, falling away when the plant is removed from the pot.

If buying a potted plant, please keep in mind that some of the compost may still be a little loose, falling away when the plant is removed from the pot.
Bare root plants should either be potted up or planted out as soon as possible while avoiding frosty or waterlogged conditions. Plant all peonies into well-prepared soil, making sure that the highest bud on the crown is no deeper than 5cm (2in) below the soil surface. 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 mulch with well-rotted compost or manure.
