About this perennial 

Red Charm is one of the most famous peony varieties, and understandably so, when you see the gigantic, spherical flowers in your garden. The deep red colour of the flowers makes them a real eye-catcher. Indoors, just a few flowers in a vase are enough to truly enjoy them. Red Charm blooms earlier than most peony varieties, so you can enjoy them early in the year!

Peonies are easy-to-care-for perennials that produce more flowers in the garden each year.

PLANT

Always allow fresh land plants to soak thoroughly in a bucket of water first. The plant can lie in the water for half an hour to an hour to replenish moisture after transport. Plant the 'eyes' of the peony no deeper than 5 centimeters into the ground. If the peony is planted too deep, it will not produce flowers. In milder climates, 2 to 3 cm below the ground is recommended, so that the 'eyes' genuinely experience some cold. Mixing compost into the topsoil is advisable. Be careful with fresh manure, as this can cause the core to rot.
CARE

Support your Peony Red Charm with a support ring for its large flowers. Fertilize the plant twice a year to stimulate growth, in the autumn and early spring. Preferably choose an organic fertilizer, as this nourishes the plant slowly over a longer period. In spring, also cut away any remaining leaves and stems.

In the first year after planting, there is only a small chance that your peony will flower, as the plant will need to get used to its new location. A peony is often at its most beautiful after about 4 years and then produces an abundance of flowers. It is advisable to divide the plant after about 8 or 9 years if you notice that flowering is decreasing. Dig up the plant and divide it. Replant the younger parts in a different spot in the garden. In this way, your peony plant can last a lifetime!
PLACE IN THE GARDEN

Choose fertile and well-draining soil. If necessary, mix sand or compost into the soil to improve drainage. Always plant peonies in the open ground and in full sun. Make sure not to plant a peony in a spot where a peony has previously grown; choose a different location instead. The previous peony may have left behind a disease or depleted the soil.

PEONY FAQs

Will I get flowers from the first year?

In the first year, you may already see a single flower, but this is not always the case. A peony always needs some time to get used to a new spot. Because we only sell peonies of the best quality, many of our customers do see a flower in the first year.

Can I plant a peony in a pot?

We do not recommend planting a peony in a pot. Peonies need space for their roots to spread, so they are best planted directly in the ground. It is always more difficult to get a peony to bloom in a pot. In a very large container, it often works, but if you have the option, planting it directly in the ground is truly the best choice.

How many flowers come from a root tuber?

The short answer: a lot! From the root tuber, the peony grows into a large perennial in a shrub-like form. In the first year, you won't have many stems and, with luck, one or a few flowers, because the plant still needs to get used to its new location. But the peony gets bigger every year and produces more and more flowers. From about 4 years old, the peony is in its mature state and then produces an abundance of flowers.

How much space should I leave for my peony?

A root tuber grows into a substantial plant within 2 to 3 years. Allocate a space of 0.8 m2 to 1 m2.

Is a peony winter hardy?

Yes, absolutely, a peony is very winter hardy and can tolerate frost well. In fact, a peony really needs a cold period to fully rest during the winter.
