Peony Rose Rhizomes

Peony Rose rhizomes are some of the most striking flower bulbs to plant in winter. Peony Roses are best suited to cooler regions because colder winters only give them bigger, more colourful blooms when it comes time for them to flower in spring and early summer.

These strong-growing perennials reward you with lush, layered blooms in spring and early summer that are impossible to resist. These flower bulbs are perfect in bouquets and vases; peony roses are the kind of flowers you’ll want to enjoy indoors and out. Plant them this winter and watch your garden come alive come spring.

Pair peony roses with tulip bulbs and daffodil bulbsfor a mix of layered petals, beautiful colours, and contrasting shapes that look gorgeous in springtime vases. Explore our range of peony rose rhizomes below.

When to Plant Peony Rose Rhizomes

Peony Rose rhizomes should be planted in autumn, ideally in March or April. This timing allows the rhizomes to establish roots before the colder months, giving them a strong start when spring arrives.

How to Grow Peony Rose Bulbs

Plant peony rose rhizomes in a well-drained, sunny spot. Dig a hole approximately 5-7.5cm (2-3in) deep and space the rhizomes 30-45cm (12-18in) apart. Position the rhizomes with the eyes (small buds) facing upwards. Water thoroughly after planting, then keep the soil moist but avoid overwatering.

Peonies thrive in cooler climates and benefit from a cold winter, which promotes bigger blooms in spring and early summer. Once the plants are established, after a few years, they are relatively low-maintenance. For the best results, apply a light layer of mulch to protect the roots during colder months. Deadhead spent flowers regularly to encourage strong, healthy growth.
