PAEONY MARGUERITE GERARD

Create a breathtaking garden display with Peony 'Marguerite Gérard', a classic herbaceous peony producing magnificent double blooms in a romantic soft rose-pink, reminiscent of delicate cherry blossoms. Lightly fragrant and carried on strong stems above handsome dark green foliage, this vigorous variety flowers from mid to late season, making it a stunning feature in the garden and an exceptional cut flower.

Peonies may look exotic, but they are remarkably hardy and thrive in cool to temperate Australian gardens. Their lush foliage, long lifespan and spectacular blooms make them a favourite for cottage gardens, perennial borders and floral arrangements.

Herbaceous peonies reward patience. While plants typically take two to three years to establish and produce their best flowering display, they are developing an extensive root system beneath the soil that will support decades of magnificent blooms. Once established, peonies are low maintenance and can provide beauty for generations.

For the best results, plant in a sunny position with fertile, well-drained soil, ensuring the crown sits just 2cm below the soil surface. Planting too deeply may reduce flowering. Feed regularly with a quality fertiliser, apply garden lime as needed, and enjoy an ever-improving display year after year.
