About Peony 'Nippon Beauty'

Paeonia lactiflora 'Nippon Beauty' is a deep red, Japanese-form peony with yellow-edged center petaloids. The [American Peony Society registry]() records Auten as originator in 1927 and notes the sharply incurved petaloid tips that give the flower its distinctive finish. ## Flowers and form The registry describes the petals, petaloids, and carpel tips as closely matched in color, with yellow flushing and edging on the petaloids. It identifies the flower as a Japanese type and records its introduction in Illinois. The registry classifies Nippon Beauty in the Lactiflora group. ## Growing conditions Grow in sun or light shade in fertile soil that drains freely. Peonies should be planted with their eyes close to the soil surface and given enough room for a mature clump. The [RHS growing guide]() provides detailed planting guidance for herbaceous peonies. ## Maintenance Water during establishment and extended dry weather, avoiding saturated soil. In autumn, remove the old stems once the foliage has died back. Leave established peonies undisturbed where possible, as described in the [RHS guide]().
