Description
The Paeonia lactiflora 'Dynasty' is a herbaceous peony sought after for its fragrance and its magnificent pastel flowers resembling roses. This variety is renowned for its superb range of tender colours, ranging from soft pink to creamy white. A colour that it shares with few other varieties. 'Dynasty' blooms late, in June, to beautifully conclude the peony season.
Chinese peonies are herbaceous perennial plants mainly derived from Paeonia lactiflora, a species native to Central and Eastern Asia (from eastern Tibet, northern China, to eastern Siberia). In nature, this peony grows in woods and meadows. This plant belongs to the family of Paeoniaceae.
The 'Dynasty' peony was obtained in 2014. It forms a beautiful clump of vegetation that can reach 85-90 cm in height. Its beautiful rose-shaped flowers with a diameter of 13-14 cm bloom in mid-June. Each one displays a superb range of colours, ranging from pale bluish pink on the outer petals to creamy white near the centre. In spring, the young shoots that emerge from the ground are a brilliant purple. The stems bear large, dark green leaves, divided into segments, measuring 15 to 20 cm long. The entire vegetation disappears in winter, while the buds persist at ground level and will develop in spring. This very perennial plant grows from a large, fleshy root that does not appreciate being moved.
Incredibly attractive and fragrant, the 'Dynasty' peony will delight enthusiasts of this timeless perennial. It can be planted in flowerbeds or along pathways. To accompany it, choose perennials with light blooms. For example, columbines, wild bellflowers, and catmints. It can also increase the supply of flowers for bouquets in the vegetable garden. Cultivating it in a pot is not recommended as its needs will not be met. Over time, the peony becomes majestic and blooms more abundantly, producing up to 60 flowers.
Peonies are an essential part of any garden. In the past, every garden, from the humblest to the most elaborate, showcased clumps of flowers in spring that made their way into the house, accompanied in each bouquet by lilacs, Madonna lilies, and bellflowers.

Planting and care
The best time to plant 'Dynasty' peonies is in the autumn. Plant peonies in full sun or a bright location, spaced 60 cm apart. They appreciate cold winters that promote dormancy and flower formation. The soil should be loose, deep, fertile, and moist. They need space and are sensitive to competition from other species. Prepare a hole 50 cm deep and mix organic fertiliser into your soil, partially fill the hole, place your plants, and cover with 6 cm of soil above the buds. After planting, firm the soil and water thoroughly.
Our bouquet secret: Cut your peonies at daybreak, when the buds start to colour. Don't delay putting them in water.

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.
