Silk peonies bloom in June-July. The vast majority of silk peonies have several flowers on each stem, so the flowering lasts longer. Silk peonies are available in red, reddish purple, cerise, pink, salmon pink, rose, cream and white.
Many people prefer silk peonies with densely filled flowers, but the simpler silk peonies also have their merits, as they do not need support and are well suited to a slightly wilder bed. The vast majority of them smell wonderful.
When the silk peonies have finished flowering, the seed pods are cut off so that they do not make the stems too heavy. Perfect partners for silk peonies are, for example, large, vigorous phlox or Indian mint, which bloom a little later.
Silk peonies are a tuber and an easy plant, which should ideally be a few centimetres below the ground. When you buy one of our silk peonies in a pot, plant it in the garden as it is in the pot, but always check where the top of the tuber is to be safe, 2-3cm below the ground level is perfect.
