Herbaceous peonies are a well-deserved, popular choice for providing colour and drama to ornamental borders in late spring and early summer. They boast large, often double flowers in whites, pinks and reds, and return year after year.

Unlike tree peonies, herbaceous peonies die back to ground level in winter. They thrive in a well-drained, neutral soil, in full sun.

Paeonia ‘Claire de Lune’ has beautiful pale lemon-yellow, single flowers with a huge centre of deep yellow stamens, and a gentle fragrance. Flower stems are red and the leaves are a rich, deep green. It makes an excellent cut flower.
