Tree peonies – actually shrubs - have flamboyant, papery blooms and interesting foliage. Although very elegant in appearance, they're actually rather robust if planted in the right spot, where they can last for many years.

There are many tree peony cultivars to choose from, with single and double flowers, in a range of colours. They thrive in fertile, well-drained soil in a sunny spot.

Paeonia 'Souvenir de Maxime Cornu' is a big and blowsy tree peony. Fully double flowers open a dusky yellow, which intensifies as the blooms mature. For best results, grow 'Souvenir de Maxime Cornu' in rich, well-prepared soil in full sun. It's ideal for growing in large pots, where the blooms can be enjoyed as a spectacle in their own right. Protect from wind and prune in late winter, when the plants are still dormant.
