Peony ‘Double Red’ is a real showstopper, putting on an incredible show with vibrant bursts of colour that carry the spring season seamlessly into summer. Luxurious, large double blooms open from tight round buds, unravelling layer after layer of silky ruffled petals in a sensational shade of ruby-red. This pretty Peony is a cottage-garden classic, ideal for mixed borders or large pots. You’ll enjoy this fabulous, low-maintenance hardy perennial as it returns year after year. Its lightly fragrant blooms have a long vase life, so it will be hard to resist cutting a few to enjoy off in the home. Height: 90cm (35”). Spread: 90cm (35”). Grow peonies in a sunny or semi shaded position. They prefer a well-drained, rich fertile soil. This is best achieved by adding with plenty of well-rotted manure or compost to the soil prior to planting, ensuring that it is mixed in thoroughly and deeply. Plant herbaceous peonies at a depth of around 5cm (2") below the soil surface.
