Tree Peony – Double Pink

The Tree Peony (Paeonia suffruticosa) Double Pink is a magnificent deciduous shrub, prized for its large, fully double, blush pink blooms. Flowering from April to June, its luxuriously ruffled petals and soft fragrance make it a spectacular centrepiece in any garden. Reaching a mature height of 1.5–2 metres, this slow-growing shrub develops a strong, woody framework, offering structure and year-round interest.

A fantastic choice for pollinator-friendly gardens, its open, pollen-rich flowers attract bees and other beneficial insects, providing an essential early-season nectar source when food is scarce.

For best results, plant in fertile, well-drained soil in a sunny or lightly shaded, sheltered position. Protection from strong winds helps preserve the delicate petals. The ideal planting time is autumn to early spring, allowing roots to establish before the growing season.

Feed with a balanced fertiliser in early spring to encourage healthy growth and again after flowering to support bud formation for the following year. Applying a mulch of well-rotted compost or manure in autumn helps retain moisture and enrich the soil.

With its showstopping double flowers and wildlife-friendly appeal, the Tree Peony Double Pink is a timeless and elegant addition to any garden.
