Tree Peony – Yellow

The Tree Peony (Paeonia suffruticosa) Yellow is a breathtaking addition to any garden, producing large, golden-yellow, lightly scented blooms from April to June. Its luminous petals contrast beautifully with deep green foliage, creating a striking focal point. Reaching a mature height of 1.5–2 metres, this deciduous shrub develops a strong, woody framework, ensuring year-round interest.

Perfect for pollinator-friendly gardens, the tree peony’s open, pollen-rich flowers attract bees and other beneficial insects, providing an essential early-season nectar source.

For best results, plant in fertile, well-drained soil in a sunny or lightly shaded, sheltered position. Protect from strong winds to prevent damage to the delicate flowers. Autumn to early spring is the ideal planting time, allowing the roots to establish before the growing season.

Feed with a balanced fertiliser in early spring and again after flowering to promote healthy growth and abundant blooms. Mulching in autumn with well-rotted compost or manure helps retain moisture and enrich the soil.

With its vibrant, long-lasting flowers and resilience, the yellow tree peony is a perfect choice for adding colour, elegance, and wildlife value to your garden year after year.
