Peony Kelway's Glorious
Free delivery on your entire order with any peony tuber. While stocks last.
Peony 'Kelway's Glorious' is a classic herbaceous variety renowned for its large, fully double, creamy-white flowers with a hint of blush at the centre. The delicately ruffled petals form a lush, rose-like flower, accompanied by a soft, sweet fragrance. Flowering in late spring to early summer, this vigorous peony has strong stems that support its elegant flowers, making it an excellent choice for garden display and cut arrangements. The deep green foliage remains attractive throughout the growing season, providing contrast and structure.
Ideal for garden beds, borders, and cut flower arrangements. Adds timeless beauty and fragrance to perennial plantings.
Thrives in full sun to partial shade in fertile, well-draining soil. Space plants approximately 60 cm apart for optimal growth and airflow.
Grows to around 80–90 cm tall and 60–80 cm wide.
Trimming: Cut back foliage to ground level in late autumn once it has died back to promote strong regrowth in spring.
Deadheading: Remove spent flowers promptly to maintain a neat appearance and encourage energy storage in the roots.
Fertilising: Apply a balanced fertiliser in early spring as new growth appears. After flowering, use a low-nitrogen fertiliser to support root development and future flowering. Avoid excessive feeding, as this can reduce flowers.
Watering: Keep soil consistently moist during the growing season, especially in dry conditions. Water deeply rather than frequently to encourage strong root growth.
Pest Control: Watch for aphids on young shoots and treat them with insecticidal soap or a strong spray of water if needed.
Disease Management: Peonies can be susceptible to botrytis blight, which causes blackened stems and bud rot. Remove any affected plant material promptly and ensure good air circulation. Avoid overhead watering to minimise fungal issues. A copper-based fungicide can help if needed.
