Big voluminous and ruffled double blooms, the London Peony (Paeonia 'London') is the perfect container-ready, flowering ornamental for smaller landscapes - even if you don't have a yard! Easy to grow and smaller in stature, you won't go without that incredible fragrance, the long-lasting spring flower power, or that vivid color that Peonies are well-known for!

London Peony is a vivid magenta double bloom featuring ever so slightly lighter fringed edges. Each petal has a lovely fringe and stands on sturdy shorter stems among lush green lobed leaves. A couple of rhizomes fill a patio pot or porch planter with no problem! They will still call loads of pollinators while supplying your bouquets with plenty of cut flower enjoyment!

Growing just 24 inches tall and about as wide at maturity, these Peonies grow fast and bloom after a year or two in the ground. Wonderfully cold-hardy and durable throughout USDA growing zones 3 through 8, these perennial flowering rhizomes have thick, fleshy roots with several 'eyes' each.

Planting and Application:

Bred for container gardening culture, these luxuriously hued and opulent plants are long-lived! Keep these fragrant flowering ornamentals by your garden bench in a fancy urn, around patio seating areas in mixed planters, or on a balcony garden no problem!

If you do have a yard, then you won't sacrifice space planting groupings, rows, or specimen plantings of these space-saving perennials that rival any flowering shrub in your landscape! Flowering in the spring, their clumps of glossy foliage provides later emerging flowers with a lush green backdrop and landscape filler! These fragrant blooms are perfect additions to cut-flower gardens and pollinator gardens! Use Peony in your perennial border garden and cottage gardens!

#ProPlantTips for Care:

This hardy perennial is long-lived and tenacious! Plant in a sunny spot with well-drained soil, that also has good air circulation. Provide regular yet moderate moisture while first establishing, but then, these rhizomes are drought tolerant. Deadhead after bloom and cut the foliage down after it yellows. Ensure containers have ample drainage and winter protection from the worst of the winter's chills.
