Herbaceous peonies are a popular choice for providing colour and drama to ornamental borders in late spring and early summer. They bear large, often double flowers in whites, pinks, reds and yellows, 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.

The flowers of Paeonia 'Marshmallow Puff' are not dissimilar to a puffball. Pure white, fully double flowers with several rows of petals make 'Marshmallow Puff' a show-stopper in any ornamental border. Growing on strong stems, the flowers are excellent for cutting.

For best results, deadhead 'Marshmallow Puff' after flowering and mulch around the base of the plant annually, with well-rotted compost or manure.
