| Description | Paeonia suffruticosa
Peony Kronos bears semi-double, dark red to crimson flowers with attractive yellow stamens. The Tree Peony is the national flower of China and long revered as “The King of Flowers”. They are thought to represent good fortune love and prosperity.
Intersectional Peonies are an exciting new hybrid between Tree Peonies and Herbaceous Peonies. These beautiful plants combine the best of both worlds with an extended flowering season, a free flowering habit, many upright-facing flowers, vigorous growth habit, and a long vase life when picked.
Dies down like the Herbaceous Peony, and requires a cold wintering period to fully aid and promote new growth in Spring. Lots of lime improves the health and flowering ability of the all Peonies so be generous with feeding. Requires a part sun/shaded position.
8"/20cm pot | Ulmus parvifolia
The bark of the Chinese Elm is a real stand out feature, as the tree sheds it in patches, creating the effect of a tapestry of varying browns and greys. Foliage is lush, shiny and green, and the tree is semi deciduous, turning golden in autumn, and keeping its leaves in warmer areas. It has also been noted by many Aussie gardeners in recent years that native birds enjoy the fruit of the Chinese Elm. | |
