Paeonia lactiflora 'Barbara'

Herbaceous peonies are a well-deserved, popular choice for providing colour and drama to ornamental borders in late spring and early summer. They boast large, often double flowers in whites, pinks and reds, and return year after year.

Unlike tree peonies, herbaceous peonies die back to ground level in winter. They thrive in a well-drained, neutral soil, in full sun.

Paeonia lactiflora ‘Barbara’ has attractive grey-green leaves and strong flower stems. It bears deep pink, double blooms with a central ball of fringed petals. ‘Barbara’ makes an excellent cut flower.
