Description
Paeonia Julia Rose is a compact, clump-forming intersectional peony with erect stems and dissected dark green foliage. The new and fading foliage takes on bronzy-red tones, adding interest around the flowering season.
Semi-double, saucer-shaped deep pink flowers gradually fade to apricot-orange as they mature, so several warm shades can appear together. The spicy-scented blooms are carried from late spring into early summer and make useful cut flowers.
Grow it in fertile, humus-rich, moist but well-drained soil in full sun or partial shade, preferably in a sheltered position. It suits flowering borders, cottage gardens, courtyard gardens, and wall-side borders.
Remove spent flowers and cut back the foliage after it dies back in autumn. Divide established clumps in autumn or early spring, and note that contact with the plant may irritate the skin of dogs and cats.
