Plant description
The large and showy flowers of this gorgeous tree peony will add a sumptuous splash of colour to the garden in late spring and early summer. Packed with gently ruffled petals, the deep-red flowers have a light perfume, and when fully open, they reveal a contrasting ring of plush golden stamens. A head-turning addition to the border, the flowers of 'Mo Run Jue Lun' can also be cut and enjoyed in a vase.
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.

How to care for Paeonia × suffruticosa Mo Run Jue Lun:
In the early spring, our potted bare root plants can be lightly rooted so can be kept in their pots for a few weeks, or planted out, avoiding frosty or waterlogged conditions taking care not to damage the emerging roots. Plant into well-prepared soil enriched with plenty of organic matter, and like herbaceous peonies, make sure that the highest bud on the crown is no deeper than 5cm (2in) below the soil surface as this will reduce flowering. In growth, keep well fed and watered, and remove spent flowers after they have faded. In each subsequent spring, apply a balanced slow-release fertiliser around the base of the plant and lightly mulch with well-rotted compost or manure but not too deeply as this can smother the roots and reduce blooming. Older stems have a tendency to become brittle and snap so cut these back by a third or to the ground in autumn every two or three years. Tree peonies are deep-rooted, and do not make good plants for containers.
Please note:
This shrub is deciduous so it will lose all its leaves in autumn, then fresh new foliage appears again each spring.
