Paeonia 'GAY PAREE' perennial peony
Description of the plant:
Gay Pareeis a Chinese peonywhose flowers resemble cheerful dancers of dirty can-can in Moulin Rouge and their even dirtier underskirts. They are collected of a single colour fuchsia pink skirt with multiple underskirts of creamy white colour with rosy pink ribbons. Very particular and very eye-catching. Isn&#;t that what can-can was all about? Flowers are fragrant, open from about mid May until first June atop cm tall stems which are strong enough not to require staking. Deciduous leaves are rather thick, deep emerald , glossy, and palmately divided.These peonies are great plants not only for perennial beds and borders, they also look very classy combined with shrubs and trees where they soften their woody structures. They also make charming cut flowers, though, they never last more than a week. They are one of the easiest perennials to grow &#; just make sure you don&#;t put their rhizomes too intense. Then you'll have no trouble whatsoever - they can grab almost any kind of weather caprice and full neglect. P

All our peonies are grown right here in New Zealand and are grown especially for tuber production, giving you the strongest and most vigorous plants achievable. They are hardy and require little care but are fussy about where they grow.
Choosing a location
Peonies need to be in an open position where they get packed sun. They don�t love to be shaded by trees, shrubs or over-hanging branches. By the hour they�re fully grown (after about three years) they need to have at least a metre worth of free space around them.
Peonies are frosty climate plants and desire two or three friendly white frosts to be sure that they will flower well the accompanying spring. Being planted in the open as described above not only allows full sun, but also means that they will be exposed to any frosts and not sheltered by buildings or trees. Well-drained soil is optimal , but as long as the soil never becomes water-logged they should be fine.
Planting
Plant your tubers with around four to six centimetres of soil over the top of them. Any deeper and the root may be too well protected from the co
