Hybrid herbaceous Peony
Ordered on the 19th, received on the 22nd of January 2024. Two bare-rooted plants were planted as soon as they arrived in a soil that had already been prepared with the addition of compost. As a precaution, they were also mulched, as there were beautiful buds present upon arrival.

Description
Paeonia lactiflora Blaze is a hybrid herbaceous peony characterised by excellent vigour, generous and rather early flowering, and brilliantly coloured flowers. Its shining blooms, in partially open cups, resemble those of wild peonies, irresistibly attracting attention in sunny borders. They bloom in spring on a beautiful clump of lush green foliage, remaining healthy for about ten days.
The Blaze Peony is a horticultural hybrid obtained by Orville Fay and registered in the USA in 1973. This variety is the result of a cross-breeding of the hybrid cultivar Bravura with itself. It possesses, among others, the genes of the botanical peonies Paeonia lactiflora and P. peregrina. All these perennials belong to the family of Paeoniaceae. The foliage of the 'Blaze' peony emerges from the ground in early spring. The leaves are medium-sized, palmate in shape (with secondary veins fanning out from the base of the lamina), and divided into fairly narrow segments of a beautiful lush green colour. They form a large rounded clump, reaching a height of 75-80 cm (30-32in) and a width of 80 cm (32in). Flowering takes place between May and June. The plant produces numerous flowers carried on rather thin but sturdy stems, reaching a height of 90-95 cm (35-37in), which do not require staking. Each flower, with a diameter of 14 cm (6in), consists of 2 or 3 rows of round and upturned petals forming a 'cup' around a centre filled with golden stamens. The petals are silky and shiny in texture, and their colour is a very pure red.
The Blaze peony can be planted in large flowerbeds and borders as well as on its own. It pairs well with both perennials and grasses, and it makes excellent cut flowers. In the garden, combine this intensely red variety with white or blue flowers: columbines, bellflowers, garden irises, catmints, forget-me-nots. Herbaceous peonies remind us of the simple charm of our grandparents' gardens, where they were often present.
Our bouquet tip: Cut your peonies at dawn, when the buds begin to colour.

Planting and care
Place the Blaze Peony primarily in the sun. In southern regions you should provide partial shade, protecting it during the hottest hours of the day. Plant from September to March in a fertile and deep, humus-rich, moist soil, but well-drained to prevent the roots from rotting. Add compost or manure in autumn and spring. Easy to grow, peonies require little maintenance. Late frosts can damage the young foliage and flower buds.
At planting, dig a large hole 40 to 50 cm (16 to 20in) deep and wide and add potting soil, river sand, and peat. Place the collar at ground level. Keep the soil moist throughout the growing season with regular watering. Peonies are known to be homebodies and should not be disturbed after planting (if you do they have to be divided, otherwise they won't flower for several years). Cut the foliage to ground level between February and April or October and November. Provide a stake to support the flower stems and remove faded flowers during the season. Protect peonies from viruses, nematodes, and thrips larvae. Armillaria (honey fungus) can cause rapid death of the plant and stem rot destroys shoots and flower buds.

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.
