Plant description
Possibly one of the most popular of all the intersectional peonies, which are a cross between the herbaceous and the tree forms. It has inherited the best qualities of both its parents, so has large, deeply cupped bright yellow flowers over a relatively long period. They appear against a backdrop of lustrous green foliage, which forms a bushy mound, and takes on autumnal tones before it drops in autumn. It's perfect for adding an exotic-looking shot of early summer colour to the border, and shows a good resistance to diseases.
This paeonia has been field grown, however in order to keep the roots hydrated and promote fresh new growth, we have potted them up. Therefore, your plant may not have a well developed root system just yet, so you should not worry if the soil falls away when you are planting it out.

How to care for Paeonia Bartzella:
Plant so the crown is around an inch or so below ground level. In early spring apply a top dressing of a balanced, slow release fertiliser around the base of the plant and mulch with well-rotted compost or manure. Cut the woody stems back in autumn or spring.
Please note:
This perennial dies back to below ground level each year in autumn, then fresh new growth appears again in spring.
