Paeonia lactiflora Heidi

(=‘Heidi Cap’) Garden Peonies are old favorites for late spring display, prized for their large, colourful and fragrant blooms. Plants form an upright bush of dark green leaves, remaining attractive all season. This Japanese or Anemone-style selection features pink semi-double flowers with a fluffy centre and coral tipped staminodes. Mid season. Peonies seldom need to be divided or moved, but if necessary it should be carried out only in the fall. Flowering is always best in a sunny location. Trim off old stems to the ground in late fall, to help prevent disease problems. Excellent for cutting.
