Peony 'Amabilis'

Peony ‘Amabilis’ is an upright, clump-forming herbaceous perennial with divided, mid-green foliage and sweetly scented, dusky pink double flowers. The flowers appear from mid- to late spring, making this cultivar a useful focal point in cottage gardens, mixed borders, and cutting beds. Give it full sun or partial shade and a sheltered position. Deep, fertile, humus-rich soil that holds moisture while draining freely supports steady growth; the plant may benefit from support as its flower stems develop. The mature plant reaches a broad range of sizes, so allow room for a substantial perennial clump. [Royal Horticultural Society]() ## Maintenance Remove faded flowers as they finish and cut back the foliage in autumn after it dies. Keep soil evenly moist without waterlogging. Divide in autumn or early spring only when you want to propagate it.
