Peonies

Peonies are among the most beloved long-lived perennials, capable of thriving in the same spot for decades. Their large blooms bring a wealth of color to spring and summer gardens, ranging from soft pastel shades to rich, vibrant tones. They look fantastic not only in perennial beds but also in a vase, where they can brighten up your home for days on end.

Growing them requires a little patience from the gardener. After planting, it usually takes them a few years to truly settle in and reach their full potential. A flood of blooms in the very first year is rather the exception. However, once they establish themselves, they will reward you each season with a profuse display that only improves with time.

Choose a sunny spot with well-drained soil for them. It is important to plant them relatively shallow, as planting them too deep often delays or completely prevents flowering. Here at Loukykvět, you will find tried-and-tested varieties that we love ourselves and that will become a reliable staple in your garden.
