Peony Apricot Queen is a wonderfully delicate and sunny flower that instantly brightens the garden. Its elegant, soft peach and pale pink petals open wide to reveal a spectacular, fluffy center packed with bright golden-yellow stamens. If you look closely, there is a subtle hint of soft rose at the base of the petals, adding just the right touch of depth and making this charming bloom feel incredibly warm and inviting.

This peony is a perfect fit for any sunny flower bed or mixed garden border. It grows into a strong, reliable bush with sturdy stems that easily hold up the airy, graceful flowers, even when the spring breeze picks up. The lush green foliage stays looking neat and healthy all summer long, providing a beautiful backdrop for the rest of your blooming plants.

Apricot Queen is also a wonderful flower for bringing inside. These soft, glowing blooms look absolutely beautiful in a vase, filling the room with a cozy, cheerful energy and a light, sweet presence. It’s an ideal choice if you want a peony that feels elegantly simple, effortlessly stylish, and full of radiant warmth.

Will it flower in the first year?

If your peony has not grown or flowered although you followed our planting instructions, our 100% flowering guarantee applies: we replace it or refund you.

How to Plant?

Guide and tips for planting peony roots

Choose a sunny spot in your garden with well-draining soil.
Dig a hole that is 2-3 times wider than the peony 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 root in the hole with the eyes (small buds) facing up. For herbaceous and Itoh peonies, the eyes should be 2–5 centimeters below the soil surface; plant tree peonies at the depth they grew in the nursery.
Fill the hole with soil and gently firm the soil around the 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.
