Paeonia Shirley Temple, named after the beloved child star, radiates a charm as captivating and radiant as its namesake. This variety produces large, fully double flowers that open in a breathtaking display of soft, creamy-white petals with a faint blush of pink at their core, reminiscent of delicate porcelain or the gentle glow of dawn. As the blooms mature, they transition to a pure, snowy white, their velvety petals unfolding in luxurious layers to create a full, rounded form that exudes purity and grace. The subtle, sweet fragrance of Shirley Temple’s flowers evokes memories of warm summer mornings, filling the garden with an inviting and nostalgic aroma. Each bloom is a masterpiece, its soft texture and luminous color palette lending an air of understated sophistication, perfect for creating a serene and dreamy atmosphere in any setting.
The allure of Paeonia Shirley Temple extends beyond its stunning appearance to its practical virtues, making it a favorite among gardeners. Its strong, resilient stems stand tall under the weight of its voluminous blooms, ensuring they remain upright and pristine through varying weather conditions. This peony is remarkably hardy, flourishing in both full sun and partial shade, and its robust constitution makes it resistant to pests and diseases, promising years of effortless beauty. Whether planted in mixed flower beds, used as a focal point in elegant bouquets, or featured in a tranquil garden retreat, Shirley Temple brings a sense of timeless romance and quiet splendor, transforming spaces into havens of peace and enchantment.

Guide and tips for planting peony plants and bulbs
- Choose a sunny spot in your garden with well-draining soil.
- Dig a hole that is 2-3 times wider than the diameter of the peony bulb or root and deep enough to accommodate it comfortably.
- Mix some compost or other organic matter into the soil at the bottom of the hole.
- Place the peony bulb or root in the hole with the "eyes" (small buds) facing up and the crown (thickened stem base) no more than 1-2 inches below the soil surface.
- Fill the hole with soil and gently firm the soil around the bulb or root.
- Water the soil until it is evenly moist.
- Cover the area with a layer of mulch to help retain moisture and suppress weeds.
- Water the plant regularly, making sure not to let the soil dry out completely.
- As the plant grows, provide support to the stem to prevent it from bending or breaking.
- After the flowers have faded, cut the stem off at the base and continue to care for the plant by watering it regularly and providing it with full sun or partial shade.
