Plant description
Deep red, fragrant double flowers held on erect stems from early to midsummer above deep green leaves. Paeonia lactiflora 'Kansas' is a reliable peony that produces a profusion of flowers year after year. Ideal for the middle of a border in full sun or part shade, the large blooms make excellent cut flowers.
All of our peonies are field grown. We supply potted plants throughout the year, and subject to availability during the dormant winter months, we also offer bare-root plants (or tubers). If buying a potted plant, please keep in mind that some of the compost may still be a little loose, falling away when the plant is removed from the pot.

How to care for Paeonia lactiflora Kansas:
Bare root plants should either be potted up or planted out as soon as possible while avoiding frosty or waterlogged conditions. Plant all peonies into well-prepared soil, making sure that the highest bud on the crown is no deeper than 5cm (2in) below the soil surface. In growth, keep well fed and watered, and remove spent flowers after they have faded. In each subsequent spring, apply a balanced slow-release fertiliser around the base of the plant and mulch with well-rotted compost or manure.
Please note:
This perennial dies back to below ground level each year in autumn, then fresh new growth appears again in spring.
