This stunning hardy perennial is a real 'must' for the cut flower garden - its long stems are topped with exotic-looking double blooms in a remarkable blend of yellow and apricot with a pinky-purple blush on the edges of the showy petals. Fragrant flowers appear from May, bridging that gap between spring and summer. One of a group known as Itoh Peonies, these eye-catching varieties are bred to combine the exotic good looks of tree peonies with the herbaceous growth habit of herbaceous peonies – giving the best of both worlds! Peony 'Canary Brilliants' is an unusual perennial, with an attractive bushy growth habit that will look stunning in borders, large containers – or in a vase in the home as a cut flower. Height: 75cm (29in). Spread: 90cm (36in). Supplied as bare root plants.

Culinary note: Petals can be added to salads, or cooked slightly and sweetened for a treat. Blooms can be floated in cocktails and punches to add decoration. Peony water was also once considered a delicacy. For more details about edible flowers, click here.

Grow peonies in sun or semi shade, in well drained soil. Peonies prefer a rich fertile soil, so add plenty of well rotted manure or garden compost to the soil prior to planting, ensuring that it is mixed in thoroughly and deeply. Plant herbaceous peonies at a depth of around 5cm (2”) below the soil surface. Planting too deeply may delay flowering.

These plants are lifted from the nursery field when dormant, and sent to you in late autumn or spring for planting. They often look dead on arrival, but they are just resting in the dormant period and will establish quickly for a strong start in the garden come spring. Set out in prepared soil in holes wide enough and deep enough to lay out the roots. Tread down the planting soil to knock out air pockets. Water well to settle. Apply a mulch to protect roots from cold temperatures. If conditions prevent immediate planting, set roughly into loose soil or a pot of compost (‘heeling in’) to protect the roots. The growth points of most bare root perennials should be set about an inch below the soil surface. New growth will appear in spring.

Feed and water regularly until peony plants are fully established. Remove faded peony flowers and cut back old foliage in autumn. In spring, apply a mulch of well rotted manure or compost to the base of the plant.
