Paeonia lactiflora peregrina Flame
Paeonia lactiflora peregrina Flame
Paeonia lactiflora peregrina Flame
Well-packaged young plants. Foliage slightly damaged but nothing serious. What bothers me is that during the repotting, all the soil fell off as if they had just been repotted before shipping. I hope this won't compromise their recovery, it would be a shame!

The Paeonia Flame is a hybrid of Paeonia peregrina and P. lactiflora, one of the most sumptuous botanical peonies in central Europe. This variety, quite rare in cultivation, offers an unprecedented red flowering, with coral accents, turning to almost fluorescent magenta pink, a truly incandescent flowering. It chooses the middle of spring to open its globe-shaped corollas, visible from afar, adorned with prominent golden stamens. Rather early flowering, enhanced by abundant foliage, dark green and beautifully cut, gathered in a compact clump. This perennial plant is cultivated in ordinary, well-drained soil, rather moist, in full sun or partial shade.
The Flame Peony, obtained in 1939 by Glasscock, comes from Paeonia lactiflora, a famous botanical species native to central and eastern Asia, and from P. peregrina 'Sunbeam'. This plant belongs to the Ranunculaceae or Paeoniaceae family. It is a hardy plant, with rather slow growth during the first years, eventually forming a bushy and dense clump averaging 70 cm (28in) in all directions. Its stems bear leaves divided into leaflets 5 to 12 cm (2 to 5in) long, shiny green on the upper side, duller and bluish on the underside. The flowers, in simple cup shape, globular, appear at the beginning or middle of May, at the end of very firm stems. They measure 7 to 10 cm (3 to 4in) in diameter and are composed of petals that shine like rayon, intense orange-red evolving towards magenta pink, surrounding a large heart of yellow stamens. In sandy soil, the coral colour of the flowers will be more pronounced. This flowering is followed by the formation of black, round and smooth seeds, which germinate after exposure to cold.
Peonies are among those plants that form the foundation of a garden. In the past every garden, from the humblest to the most elaborate, proudly displayed clumps of peonies that made their way into the house, keeping lilacs and bluebells company in bouquets. Incandescent and vigorous, the robust Flame peony will settle into well-drained borders, cool rockeries or alongside pathways, in combination with timeless perennials such as columbines, bellflowers, foxgloves, bearded irises, carnations, or Christmas roses. It can also be grown in the vegetable garden to supply cut flowers for the house. Growing it in a pot is not recommended, as its needs will not be met. Over time, the peony becomes majestic and blooms more and more abundantly.

Botanical data
The Flame peony, like all peonies, does not like to be moved so you have to think carefully about the right place to locate it. The best time to plant is in spring or autumn. Give the stumps a sunny or bright location and deep, well-loosened soil, making sure it is properly drained. Peonies need space and dislike competition from other species. Prepare a hole of 50 x 50 x 50 cm (20in), adding a thin layer of sand or gravel at the bottom to provide drainage around the roots. Mix an organic fertiliser into your soil, partially backfill, place your plants inside and cover with 6 cm (2in) of soil above the eyes. After planting, tamp down and water thoroughly.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
