Paeonia alexander fleming

The Peony Alexander Fleming is an enchanting peony that transforms your garden into a true floral delight. This classic variety is known for its large, double flowers in a beautiful shade of pink, with a light, sweet fragrance that fills any outdoor space with a touch of romance. The flowers appear in late spring and are perfect for picking for bouquets or for enjoying in your garden.

Peony Alexander Fleming, like other peonies, needs about 2 to 3 years to become fully established. Flowering may be modest in the first few years, but with patience and proper care, this peony will develop into a strong, profusely flowering plant that produces impressive flowers year after year.

In winter, the Alexander Fleming loses its leaves, leaving the plant dormant. This is a normal part of the life cycle of peonies, ensuring that the plant can conserve its energy for spectacular blooms in spring.

Position: Choose a sunny spot in the garden where the peony receives at least 6 hours of direct sunlight a day.

Soil: Plant the peony in well-drained, nutritious soil. Make sure the soil does not stay too wet, as peonies do not like standing water.
Planting depth: Place the rhizome (or tuber) so that the eyes, or growing points, are about 3-5 cm below the soil.

Spacing: Keep a distance of at least 60-90 cm between plants to ensure enough room for growth.

Watering: Make sure to keep the soil slightly moist, especially during dry periods and in the first year after planting, to allow the plant to establish itself properly.

With proper care, the Peony Alexander Fleming will reward you with beautiful, lush flowers that put on a dazzling show every spring. Add this timeless beauty to your garden and enjoy the abundant blooms that return year after year.
