Paeonia lactiflora ‘Jacorma’

A firm favourite on our Thurning ground for its late-season performance. ‘Jacorma’ produces generous, fully double blooms in a lovely clear pink that holds its colour well. The flowers are scented and carried on sturdy stems, making them excellent for arrangements. Its deep green foliage provides a handsome backdrop throughout the season.

This is a clump-forming perennial that will reach its ultimate height in about two to five years. It typically grows to around 0.8 to 0.9 metres tall. For the best results, plant it in a deep, fertile soil that is moist but well-drained. It will thrive in a sheltered position in full sun or partial shade.

Once established, peonies need very little attention. We suggest adding a plant support ring early in the season to help hold the weight of the heavy blooms. To keep it tidy, simply cut the foliage back to ground level after it has died back in the autumn. It’s perfect for adding a final splash of colour to cottage garden borders.
