Hybrid herbaceous Peony
Ordered on the 19th, received on the 22nd of January 2024. Two bare-rooted plants were planted as soon as they arrived in a soil that had already been prepared with the addition of compost. As a precaution, they were also mulched, as there were beautiful buds present upon arrival.

Description
Paeonia lactiflora Blaze is a hybrid herbaceous peony characterised by excellent vigour, generous and rather early flowering, and brilliantly coloured flowers. Its shining blooms, in partially open cups, resemble those of wild peonies, irresistibly attracting attention in sunny borders. They bloom in spring on a beautiful clump of lush green foliage, remaining healthy for about ten days.
The Blaze Peony is a horticultural hybrid obtained by Orville Fay and registered in the USA in 1973. This variety is the result of a cross-breeding of the hybrid cultivar Bravura with itself. It possesses, among others, the genes of the botanical peonies Paeonia lactiflora and P. peregrina. All these perennials belong to the family of Paeoniaceae. The foliage of the 'Blaze' peony emerges from the ground in early spring. The leaves are medium-sized, palmate in shape (with secondary veins fanning out from the base of the lamina), and divided into fairly narrow segments of a beautiful lush green colour. They form a large rounded clump, reaching a height of 75-80 cm (30-32in) and a width of 80 cm (32in). Flowering takes place between May and June. The plant produces numerous flowers carried on rather thin but sturdy stems, reaching a height of 90-95 cm (35-37in), which do not require staking. Each flower, with a diameter of 14 cm (6in), consists of 2 or 3 rows of round and upturned petals forming a 'cup' around a centre filled with golden stamens. The petals are silky and shiny in texture, and their colour is a very pure red.
The Blaze peony can be planted in large flowerbeds and borders as well as on its own. It pairs well with both perennials and grasses, and it makes excellent cut  flowers. In the garden, combine this intensely red variety with white or blue flowers: columbines, bellflowers, garden irises, catmints, forget-me-nots. Herbaceous peonies remind us of the simple charm of our grandparents' gardens, where they were often present.
Our bouquet tip: Cut your peonies at dawn, when the buds begin to colour.

Planting and care
Place the Blaze Peony primarily in the sun. In southern regions you should provide partial shade, protecting it during the hottest hours of the day. Plant from September to March in a fertile and deep, humus-rich, moist soil, but well-drained to prevent the roots from rotting. Add compost or manure in autumn and spring. Easy to grow, peonies require little maintenance. Late frosts can damage the young foliage and flower buds.
At planting, dig a large hole 40 to 50 cm (16 to 20in) deep and wide and add potting soil, river sand, and peat. Place the collar at ground level. Keep the soil moist throughout the growing season with regular watering. Peonies are known to be homebodies and should not be disturbed after planting (if you do they have to be divided, otherwise they won't flower for several years). Cut the foliage to ground level between February and April or October and November. Provide a stake to support the flower stems and remove faded flowers during the season. Protect peonies from viruses, nematodes, and thrips larvae. Armillaria (honey fungus) can cause rapid death of the plant and stem rot destroys shoots and flower buds.

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).
