Peony Paul M Wild
Free delivery on your entire order with any peony tuber. While stocks last.
Peony 'Paul M. Wild' is a striking herbaceous variety known for its large, fully double, deep crimson-red flowers. The velvety, ruffled petals form a rich, rounded flower that retains its vibrant colour throughout the flowering season. Flowering in late spring to early summer, this vigorous peony has strong stems that support its impressive flowers, making it an excellent choice for both garden display and cut arrangements. The lush, dark green foliage provides a beautiful contrast, adding lasting interest to borders and garden beds.
Ideal for garden beds, borders, and cut flower arrangements. Adds bold 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 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 after it has died back to promote strong regrowth in spring.
Deadheading: Remove spent flowers promptly to keep the plant tidy and encourage energy storage in the roots.
Fertilising: Apply a balanced fertiliser in early spring as new growth emerges. After flowering, use a low-nitrogen fertiliser to support root health and improve future flowering. Avoid excessive feeding, as this can reduce flowers.
Watering: Keep soil consistently moist during the growing season, particularly in dry spells. Deep, infrequent watering is best to encourage strong root development.
Pest Control: Watch for aphids on young shoots and treat with insecticidal soap or a strong jet of water if necessary.
Disease Management: Peonies can be prone to botrytis blight, which causes blackened stems and bud rot. Remove affected growth immediately and ensure good air circulation. Avoid overhead watering to minimise fungal risks. A copper-based fungicide may help if problems persist.
