Peony Bouquet Perfect

Peony 'Bouquet Perfect' is a charming herbaceous variety that produces abundant, semi-double to double, soft pink flowers with a warm apricot undertone. The delicately ruffled petals surround a golden centre, creating a stunning display in late spring to early summer. Compact and free-flowering, this peony is an excellent choice for smaller gardens or mixed borders. Its strong stems and lush green foliage provide lasting interest, while the lightly fragrant flowers make it ideal for cut arrangements.

Perfect for garden beds, borders, and cut flower gardens. Adds seasonal colour and structure to perennial plantings.

Thrives in full sun to partial shade in fertile, well-draining soil. Space plants approximately 60 cm apart for optimal airflow and growth.

Reaches around 70–80 cm tall and 60–70 cm wide.

Trimming: Cut back foliage to ground level in late autumn once it has died back to encourage healthy regrowth in spring.

Deadheading: Remove spent flowers to keep the plant tidy and redirect energy into root development rather than seed production.

Fertilising: Apply a balanced fertiliser in early spring as new growth emerges. After flowering, use a low-nitrogen fertiliser to strengthen roots and improve future flowering. Avoid over-fertilising, as this can reduce flower production.

Watering: Ensure consistent moisture during the growing season, especially in dry periods. Deep, infrequent watering is best to promote strong root growth.

Pest Control: Keep an eye out for aphids on young shoots and treat them with insecticidal soap or a firm spray of water if necessary.

Disease Management: Peonies can be susceptible to botrytis blight, which causes blackened stems and bud rot. Remove affected areas immediately and provide good air circulation. Avoid overhead watering to minimise fungal issues. A copper-based fungicide can help if needed.
