Description
Get set for a splashy scene of salmon-pink blooms in late spring with this perfectly pretty Peony 'Etched Salmon'. A rare and sought after variety loved for its gentle colour, petal-packed flower form and beautiful fragrance, you can plant this special peony and look forward to a real treat each year when it bursts into bloom. Of course, not only is it a charm to have in the garden but the loosely ruffled flowers of Paeonia 'Etched Salmon' inject the most luxurious peony-power into floral arrangements.
Aside from its obvious good looks being a benefit, Peony 'Etched Salmon' is easy to grow too. Being a hardy perennial, it’s very low maintenance and will require very little in terms of care to perform well. Give it a sunny position in a border with free-draining soil and water when dry. Then, once it’s settled in, Paeonia 'Etched Salmon' can be left virtually to its own devices. Peonies take a little time to establish to full size and don’t always flower in the first year, but you will see this salmon-pink peony grow back bigger and stronger each year and it’ll produce more blooms as it matures too!

Useful information
-
Soak the Paeonia 'Etched Salmon' roots in water for 3-6 hours prior to planting
Plant your bare roots into temporary pots with a multipurpose compost in spring and grow-on in a sheltered spot outdoors
Choose a pot which comfortably fits the bare roots. Some have a noticeable crown which should be just below the soil surface with any top growth exposed. Some varieties are a length of root which should be planted lengthways and shallowly (1-2cm deep).
Plant out into borders or permanent containers in late spring or early summer once in full growth. Choose a position in sun or shade depending on the variety.
