Paeonia lactiflora Barrington Belle

Barrington Belle Peony

A peony variety highly prized for its large, beautiful, soft pink flowers with delicately fringed petals and a lighter centre. Flowering, which occurs in spring, is abundant and eye-catching with its beautiful, lightly scented cupped flowers, which are ideal for bouquets. This peony is suitable for beds, borders, or as a background plant in medium-sized gardens. Once established, it is fairly drought tolerant, but benefits from moderate watering, especially during its growing season. This variety is also hardy and tolerates cold winters well, but it is recommended to cut back dead stems in spring to encourage vigorous growth.
