Paeonia Lactiflora 'Fiona' 11cm

A classic herbaceous peony bringing fragrant, richly-formed blooms to the border in late spring and early summer, above handsome dark green, divided foliage that dies back each autumn. Best in a fertile, humus-rich soil that's moist but well-drained, in full sun or partial shade, in a sheltered spot. Long-lived and low-maintenance once established, though large flowers may benefit from light staking. Foliage can be a mild skin irritant to pets.
