Peony 'Dublin' (Patio Peony)

Bring the elegance of peonies to even the smallest spaces with Peony Dublin. Unlike traditional herbaceous peonies, which aren't suited for container growing, Peony Dublin has been specially bred to thrive in pots, offering a stunning display of abundant blooms on a compact plant. This variety forms neat, bushy mounds of lush, dark green, deeply lobed foliage, and its strong stems eliminate the need for staking. Unlike other varieties where heavy blooms tend to droop, the flowers of Peony Dublin remain upright, their elegant faces commanding attention, even in low containers. Despite its smaller size, Peony Dublin produces large, striking blooms. The flowers consist of single white petals, loosely arranged in a bowl shape, surrounding a central ruff of short, yellow petaloids. Herbaceous peonies are long-lived, offering year after year of spectacular late spring to early summer blooms with minimal care. Peony Dublin is perfect for planting in both borders and containers, where it adds structure, charm, and vibrant colour to your garden. It also makes a beautiful addition to bouquets and cut flower arrangements. Height: 50cm (20in) Spread: 30cm (12in) Culinary note: The petals can be added to salads, lightly cooked and sweetened for a unique treat, or used to make peony water, a delicacy in some cultures. The blooms can also be floated in punches for a decorative touch.
