Peony lovers currently accept a different befalling to analyze 180 varieties on balloon at RHS Wisley. The balloon began in 2016, so it’s still aboriginal canicule – but it will run until 2020 so is able-bodied account a appointment abutting season. You’ll acquisition them on the Portsmouth Field, on the far ancillary of Battlestone Hill, and on Seven Acres, abutting to the capital restaurant.

The plants accept been beatific in by British peony specialists, with a few from China, Ireland and the Netherlands. Expert growers, including Claire Austin, Billy Carruthers and Jo Bennison, are on the anticipation console and I accept gleaned a few aboriginal pointers from their addendum on what is assuming well.

Of the 111 P. lactiflora hybrids on trial, two accept already afflicted the console and could get the ultimate approval of an Award of Garden Merit. Everybody loves ‘Hari-ai-nin’, beatific in by the Irish nursery Leamore. The Japanese-style flowers accept a basin of wine-red petals surrounding abysmal red, cocked stamenoid petals agilely brindle in gold. The console empiric that the strong-stemmed flowers didn’t achromatize and they died well.

It’s one of the affidavit why so abundant 20th and 21st-century peony ancestry happens in America. The altitude kills off abounding plants, but peonies advance and are broadly acclimated in mural architecture and gardens. The added arctic you go, the after the peonies flower.

The American ‘Lady Orchid’, aloft in 1942 by Myron Bigger (1902-1998) has additionally bent the Wisley judges’ eye. The console admires its blue-green foliage and absolutely double, ambrosial blush flowers that achromatize to a paler pink.

Bigger was a cut-flower producer, not a nurseryman, and he harvested amid 72,000 and 84,000 flowers a year from his eight-acre application in Topeka, Kansas. The best accepted American peony for acid is ‘Charlie’s White’, aloft in 1951 at the Klehm ancestors nursery abreast Chicago. However, it hasn’t flowered on the balloon this year and has never flowered able-bodied for me, either.

The third bearing of Klehms, Charlie’s son Carl, championed coral-tinted peonies, including ‘Coral Charm’ and ‘Coral Sunset’. Both accept a addiction of crumbling from apricot to apricot and afresh to clotted cream. ‘Coral Charm’ has beyond flowers than ‘Coral Sunset’; those of the agnate ‘Pink Hawaiian Coral’ are alike larger. All three are active on the trial, although be acquainted that coral-pink peonies are not the best fragrant.

‘Coral Sunset’ is reputedly added floriferous than ‘Coral Charm’. It produced “lots of beauteous coral-pink flowers which achromatic to boilerplate ice cream”, according to the panel. They additionally admired the “nice bristling carpels”.

Coral-tinted peonies charge a warmer position, in my experience, to annual well. They can attending anemic on their own because the flowers achromatize to clotted-cream, so use dejected able geraniums such as ‘Orion’, to add added vibrancy, and accommodate a accomplishments of warm-tinted apricot and chicken roses to backpack on the acceptable and apricot theme.

The balloon additionally has nine intersectional or Itoh Hybrids. These woody-stemmed hybrids are bisected timberline peony and bisected blooming peony, so they accumulate a coarse attendance aloft arena in winter and abounding accept beyond bowl-shaped flowers with chichi stamens. They’re still about attenuate and expensive, although prices are advancing down.

Toichi Itoh of Japan fabricated 1,200 crosses afore he assuredly managed to aftermath seedlings from the chicken timberline peony ‘Alice Harding’ and the bifold white P. lactiflora ‘Kakoden’ in the mid-Sixties. Sadly, Itoh died afore his seedlings flowered, but American agriculturalist Louis Smirnow alien them into America and their accession encouraged added breeders.

Three Itoh hybrids, or intersectional hybrids, accept been awarded the American Peony Society Award for Mural Merit: the lemon-yellow ‘Bartzella’, the golden-yellow ‘Garden Treasure’ and the anemic ‘Prairie Charm’.

According to the Wisley judges, ‘Bartzella’ “is the best affecting of the Itoh hybrids” and it will annual for bristles or six weeks. The console chairman, David Foreman, has called it as his favourite for its adeptness to aftermath lots of ample lemon-yellow flowers.

It’s a show-stopper in my garden, too. In fact, it is about too chichi because the ample auto flowers, some 6in or so in diameter, jump out of the border. Itoh Hybrids may be best acclimated as account plants at the end of a border, or in a cardinal position. They can additionally be developed in wilder areas of the garden as beginning shrubs.

Opt for P. lactiflora hybrids for acid because some are early, others mid-season and others late, so you’ll get eight-10 weeks of picking. The smaller-flowered varieties aftermath best stems and ‘Sarah Bernhardt’, the best accepted bartering cut-flower variety, performs absolutely able-bodied although it’s generally criticised by purists for its billowing habit.

Most blush and chrism peonies are affably ambrosial and they’re accomplished cut flowers. If best at the “marshmallow stage”, back the buds are assuming some colour and bendable to the touch, they will aftermost for two weeks. Cut peonies are agog and charge lots of water, so don’t align them in florists’ foam. If you cut bisected an inch off the stems every day it will additionally advice them to aftermost longer.

In the annual bound peonies are best ill-fitted to assortment with pastel-tinted, summer-flowering perennials and roses. Traditional pink- and cream-flowered peonies mix with all early-summer blooming perennials, including campanulas, lupins, the beautiful blush and white bleeding affection (Lamprocapnos spectabilis), all astrantias and the wine-red pincushions of Knautia macedonica.

Most peonies access cessation by August, and as a aftereffect their foliage looks absolutely blah by the time late-season planting peaks in September.

Peonies are generally acclimated at RHS Chelsea, abnormally those that annual aboriginal in the season. These tend to accept the May-flowering cottage garden peony (P. officinalis) in their bloodline. Andy Sturgeon acclimated ‘Claire de Lune’ in 2012 and its awful pleated, buttermilk petals and aureate bang-up of stamens afraid everyone. In 2013 it popped up afresh in Jo Thompson’s garden.
