Peony Trio Collection

Add drama and fragrance to your garden with the Peony 'Trio' Collection! This perennial set features three outstanding varieties: 'Candy Stripe', 'Garden Treasure', and 'Eden's Perfume'. Each plant brings its own unique colour, scent, and character—creating a stunning, long-lasting display from late spring into early summer.

Why Choose This Peony Collection?

• 'Candy Stripe': Distinctive marbled petals and a strong fruity fragrance set this variety apart, making it a true showstopper.
• 'Garden Treasure': A rare intersectional hybrid (Itoh peony) with semi-double yellow blooms, upright growth, and zesty citrus scent.
• 'Eden's Perfume': Celebrated as one of the most fragrant peonies available—enjoy lush pink blooms with an intense aroma.

Planting & Care Guide

• Planting Time: Best planted from autumn to early spring while dormant. Bare root plants establish quickly when planted directly into prepared beds or large containers.
• Soil: Prefers rich, well-drained soil with neutral to slightly alkaline pH (6.5–7.5). Improve heavy clay with compost or grit.
• Light: Thrives in full sun but tolerates light shade; aim for at least 6 hours of sunlight daily for optimal flowering.
• Watering: Water regularly during dry spells in the first growing season. Once established, peonies are drought-tolerant.
• Hardiness: Fully hardy across the UK (USDA zones 3–8).
• Care: Mulch annually in spring. Remove spent flowers to promote healthy growth. Cut back foliage in autumn after it dies down naturally.
• Mature Size: Typically reaches 60–90cm height and spread within 3–5 years.

Design Ideas & Companion Planting

• Create a bold border by pairing with alliums, irises, or hardy geraniums that share similar sun and soil preferences.
• Add to mixed cottage garden schemes or feature as specimen plants in patio containers.
• Their long stems make them perfect for fresh cut flower displays indoors.
