Peony ‘Candy Stripe’

The ‘Candy Stripe’ Peony is a classic cottage garden favourite with breathtaking blooms of white and pale pink, marbled with streaks of deep cherry pink.

These distinctive and unique peonies produce large, fully double blooms atop tall stems, that may require staking or support, rising above thick, dark green bushy foliage. They can grow up to 90cm tall and 80cm wide, flowering from late spring to early summer.

Grown in-house at Gates Garden Centre, these Paeonies are perfect as cut flowers due to their large blooms and their long vase life of over a week, if cut in the bud. They also look at home when nestled in the bed or border of an informal cottage garden and will only improve over time as peonies tend to grow bigger and better with age.

Plant in a position of sun or partial shade, away from trees or shrubs as peonies don’t like to compete for food and moisture. Plant in humus rich soil and water in well.

These gorgeous peonies combine brilliantly with shades of deep purple or red to make a stunning early summer display.
