Description
Paeonia lactiflora 'Dinner Plate'
Height x Spread: 110cm x 90cm
Introduced in 1968, 'Dinner Plate' has been showing off its very large, fragrant, double pink blooms in a range of situations ever since, flowering during early summer.
'Dinner Plate' prefers sunny situations with a reasonably good soil but will tolerate light-shade. Perfect for flower beds and borders and cutting gardens. When planting Paeonia make sure that you don't plant them too deeply as this will inhibit their flowering.
This perennial is toxic if ingested.
