Paeonia lactiflora 'Angel Cheeks' (peony)

Paeonia lactiflora ‘Angel Cheeks’ (peony) was £15.99 now £9.99
Position: full sun or partial shade Soil: fertile, moisture-retentive yet well-drained Rate of growth: average Flowering period: May to June Flower colour: pink Hardiness: fully hardy A showy perennial for early summer, the fully double pink flowers look wonderful in the border, and last well in a vase if they are cut while still in bud. Its soft colouring will mix easily into most colour schemes, but it looks particularly good with deep plum and shades of purple. Garden care: Deadhead after flowering. In early spring apply a top-dressing of a balanced slow release fertiliser around the base of the plant and mulch well with well rotted garden compost or manure. The older stems of tree peonies have a tendency to become brittle and snap so cut these back to the ground in autumn every two or three years.

Paeonia lactiflora 'Starlight' (peony)

Paeonia lactiflora ‘Starlight’ (peony) was £13.99 now £9.99
Position: full sun or partial shade Soil: fertile, moisture-retentive yet well-drained Rate of growth: average Flowering period: May to June Hardiness: fully hardy Lightly scented, pale yellow single flowers, each with a prominent boss of golden yellow stamens, turn creamy-white as they mature. An early flowering cultivar, the flowers will often start to open in May and will attract bees and other pollinating insects. Deadhead after flowering. In early spring apply a balanced slow-release fertiliser around the base of the plant and mulch with well-rotted compost or manure. Fungal diseases may occur in cool, wet springs so prune out any affected parts and spray the remaining sections with fungicide.
