Peony ‘Rome’ (Patio Peony)
Bring the elegance of peonies to even the smallest spaces with Peony Rome. Unlike traditional herbaceous peonies, which struggle in containers, Peony Rome is specially bred to thrive in pots, blooming abundantly on compact plants. It forms dense, bushy clumps of dark green, deeply lobed leaves, providing a lush backdrop for its stunning blooms. Strong stems eliminate the need for staking, and unlike older varieties with heavy heads that droop, the flowers of Peony Rome stand proudly upright, showcasing their vibrant sugar-pink, double blooms even in small containers. Despite its compact size, Peony Rome produces large, ruffled flowers in abundance, making it a showstopper in your garden. These herbaceous peonies will thrive for years, bringing striking displays of blooms every late spring to early summer with minimal effort. Plant them in borders or containers to add structure, elegance, and rich colour. Plus, they make stunning cut flowers. Height: 60cm (24in) Spread: 40cm (16in) Culinary Tip: Add the petals to salads, or cook them slightly and sweeten them for a delicate treat. Peony water, once considered a delicacy, can be made from the blooms, or float them in punches for a refreshing touch.
