Description
La Peonia ‘Buckeye Belle’ se distingue par ses grandes fleurs rouge acajou, parmi les plus sombres que l'on puisse observer chez les pivoines herbacées. Leurs pétales légèrement brillants entourent des étamines jaune d’or bien visibles, formant un superbe contraste sur ces corolles semi-doubles. Précoce, cette variété fleurit au printemps avant de nombreuses pivoines de Chine, sur des tiges solides qui portent les fleurs fièrement au-dessus du feuillage. Primée pour ses qualités au jardin, elle donne aussi de beaux bouquets qui tiennent bien en vase.
'Buckeye Belle’ est une pivoine herbacée hybride de la famille des Paeoniacées. Enregistrée en 1956 par l’obtenteur américain Mains, dans l’Ohio, elle est issue d’un croisement entre Paeonia officinalis et P. lactiflora. Elle a reçu l’Award of Landscape Merit en 2009, puis la médaille d’or de l’American Peony Society en 2010. Cette vivace forme une touffe dressée de 75 à 90 cm de hauteur, qui s’étoffe au fil des années et peut atteindre 90 cm de largeur. Au printemps, ses jeunes pousses présentent des teintes rouge bordeaux, puis les feuilles profondément divisées se déploient en devenant vert foncé. La végétation aérienne se dessèche entièrement en automne ; la souche munie de racines charnues passe l’hiver au repos sous terre. Installée dans de bonnes conditions, cette pivoine peut vivre de nombreuses années au même emplacement. La floraison commence dès le début du mois de mai dans les régions clémentes, mais vers la fin mai ou le début du mois de juin sous des climats plus froids. ‘Buckeye Belle’ devance ainsi de près de deux semaines de nombreuses pivoines de Chine cultivées dans les mêmes conditions. Les fleurs mesurent de 13 à 17 cm de diamètre selon les conditions de culture. Elles s’ouvrent en coupe, puis s’élargissent progressivement. Plusieurs rangées de larges pétales arrondis entourent un centre plus irrégulier, mêlant des pétales étroits et des étamines dorées. Le parfum est discret chez cette pivoine, parfois imperceptible. Sa souche résiste à -15/-20 °C dans un sol drainé.
‘Buckeye Belle’ est aussi une belle pivoine à bouquets. Ses fleurs peuvent se conserver environ une semaine en vase dans de bonnes conditions, lorsqu’elles sont cueillies avec des boutons prêts à s’ouvrir. Leur coloris acajou se marie particulièrement bien aux fleurs blanches, crème ou rose pâle.
Au jardin, cette plante donne de la profondeur aux massifs romantiques et aux plates-bandes traditionnelles. Son coloris rouge acajou se marie aux fleurs blanches de l’ancolie ‘White Barlow’, au rose lilas du géranium maculatum ‘Espresso’ et à la pivoine ‘Immaculée’. Cette association donne également matière à composer des bouquets champêtres, mêlant grandes fleurs et tiges plus légères.

Planting and care
The peony ‘Buckeye Belle’ likes a deep, fertile, humus-bearing, well-drained soil that retains moisture in spring. A loamy or clay-loam soil is favourable to it; it also tolerates clay soil if water does not stagnate in winter. The pH can be slightly acid, neutral or alkaline, and the presence of lime is not a problem. It flowers best in sun, but appreciates a little shade during the hottest hours in southern regions. Temperate climates with cold winters are favourable to it. Planting is preferably carried out in autumn, or in spring for potted plants, with the buds covered with 2 to 3 cm of soil. Water regularly to help it establish. In spring, an application of compost maintains soil fertility, without covering the centre of the stump.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
