Description
Paeonia anomala subsp. veitchii
Height x Spread: 45cm x 45cm
Flowering from late spring though into early summer P. anomala subs. veitchii produces single flowers in shades of light to dark pink with a yellow centre. The flowers stand out above the foliage, the contrast between the green of the leaves and the pink flowers is very gentle but pops.
This Paeonia is happy planted in either full sun or part shade. It's ideal for a woodland garden with dappled shade, its relaxed structure lends itself to use in informal planting schemes - combine with Leucanthemum vulgare ‘Maikonigin’, Achillea ptarmica ‘The Pearl’, Achillea ‘Lachsschonheit’ and Geum 'Lisanne'.
To thrive make sure it's in a sheltered position and planted in fertile, moist but well-drained soil.
Harmful if eaten.
Rosy's Colour Picks
LEUCANTHEMUM vulgare 'Maikonigin'
Noted for its cheerful early summer display of large single white daisy flowers, each with a sunny yellow centre, this tough and hardy ox-eye daisy is a good performer and cuts well for vases.
ACHILLEA 'Lachsschonheit' (Galaxy Series)
Gently domed clusters of small flowers open soft salmon pink fading to cream, over ferny mid green foliage. Another very pretty Achillea, its delicacy belies its toughness. Great for pollinators.
GEUM 'Lisanne'
Clusters of bright lemon flowers demurely nodding on arching reddish-green, fuzzy stems above clumps of bright green foliage. This very elegant and sunny Geum flowers from late April through to mid...
ACHILLEA ptarmica 'The Pearl' (The Pearl Group)
In contrast to other Achillea varieties this plant produces individual single white button flowers, which contrast crisply with the dark green foliage.
