Description

A little peony gem with a big personality. Most people see peonies as large, sprawling plants that dominate borders, but this compact variety proves that size isn't everything. It's neat, manageable, and perfectly suited to smaller gardens or pots, yet it still delivers the kind of show-stopping flowers that have made peonies one of the world's most adored perennials.

From late spring to early summer, 'Dublin' produces bold white blooms that open wide to reveal glowing yellow centres. The contrast is striking and instantly lifts any planting scheme, whether you tuck it into a mixed border or let it shine solo in a container.

It's the kind of plant that delivers drama without demanding fuss. Hardy enough to shrug off cold winters and easy to maintain once established, this peony rewards you every year with bigger and better blooms.

Spectacular in containers, to bring the flowers right up to eye level. Place a pot by the back door or on the patio and you'll enjoy the best possible view of its dazzling white petals and golden heart.

Supplied as a bare root plant with 2-3 eyes, ready to plant.

Top Tips

Be careful not to overwater newly planted Peonies, especially those that have been planted into decorative pots rather than the ground. They are best kept slightly on the dry side!

Care Information

Despite the myths that surround them, peonies are easy to grow.
They need plenty of water, but take care not to waterlog them, so plant your peonies in soil that drains well. Clay is fine as long as it doesn't stay wet.
Peonies flower at their best in full sun, but they will tolerate light shade too.
Feed with a general fertiliser in spring, but avoid over-feeding with high nitrogen fertilisers.
To conserve moisture and suppress weeds, mulch around the crown with 5-7.5cm (2-3in) organic matter. Avoid covering the crown itself.
The flower stems may not be strong enough to keep the often-heavy flamboyant flowers upright and staking is often required.
It is generally best to cut the foliage to ground level as it dies back in the autumn to reduce risk of peony wilt.
Peonies seldom need to be divided or moved, but if necessary it should be carried out only in the autumn.
