Herbaceous peonies are a popular choice for providing colour and drama to ornamental borders in late spring and early summer. They bear large, often double flowers in whites, pinks, reds and yellows, 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 ‘Prairie Moon’ has beautiful pale lemon-yellow, single to semi-double flowers with a huge centre of deep yellow stamens, and a gentle fragrance. Flower stems are thick and the leaves are a rich, deep green. It makes an impressive cut flower.
