Peony ‘Dublin’ (Patio Peony)
Enjoy the glamour of peonies in even the smallest of spaces with Peony ‘Dublin’. Traditional herbaceous peonies are not suited to growing in pots, but Peony ‘Dublin’ has been specifically developed for successful container growing, flowering prolifically on a much shorter plant. Peony ‘Dublin’ forms neat bushy mounds of lush, deeply lobed, dark green leaves. Strong stems remove the need for staking and, unlike traditional varieties where the heavy blooms droop downwards spoiling the display, the flowers of Peony ‘Dublin’ are held upright, their pert faces inviting admiration even when planted in low containers. Despite its petite proportions, Peony ‘Dublin’ boasts large blooms that are produced in abundance. The blooms are composed of single white petals arranged in a loose bowl around a central ruff of short yellow petaloids. Herbaceous peonies will last a lifetime in your garden, giving late spring to early summer displays of show-stopping, ruffled blooms each year for the minimum of effort. Plant them in borders or containers, where they will add structure, glamour and rich colour. They also make fabulous cut flowers. Height: 50cm (20in). Spread: 30cm (12in).Culinary note: The petals can be added to salads, or cooked slightly and sweetened for a treat. Peony water was also once considered a delicacy and the blooms can be floated in punches. For more details about edible flowers click here.
