Plant description

A shrubby peony with less grandiose ambitions than its taller cousins, 'Jin Ge' is a delight with its 'picotee' pink-ruffled petals and rounded light yellow blooms. The strong, fragrant blooms can reach up to 18cm (7”) in diameter in size in late spring and summer providing your borders or large pots with eye-catching colour.
Our woody-stemmed peonies are field-grown, sturdy plants with extensive roots that have been potted up since lifting in the Autumn. When purchasing earlier in the season (Feb-March) the root system should be well developed although you may find some compost falls away when you are planting them out and this is perfectly natural for the time of year.
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 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.
