The Milkflower Peony 'Paula Faye' is an early rose hybrid (although it is more commonly referred to as a variety). It was bred in America in 1988. Originator: Orville W. Fay. Bears the name of the breeder's sister-in-law. It is a real gem among peonies! It is well suited for bouquets. But beauty comes with age.

Appearance
The Paula Fay semi-maxillary flower hides a certain mystery that one wants to unravel. The buds can reach a diameter of 35mm or so, which is quite large, blooming into attractive inflorescences measuring 12-16cm. Their colour is fondant pink. The number of petals in the flowers will increase as 'Paula Faye' gets older. The stems are thick and strong and the flowers are odourless, like most hybrid peonies.

It was bred in America in 1988.

Their colour is fondant pink.

It is well suited for bouquets.

The inflorescences measure 12-16cm.

It does best in full sun. It is enchanting due to its lush blooms. It grows at a low rate. It takes about two years for the plant to take root well. Afterwards, it 'reaches' its greatest beauty. Under ideal conditions, you can expect this strain to last for around 20 years. The division and propagation of the shrubs, if necessary, should only be done in autumn. If you've never planted a peony before, don't worry. You'll be fine!

How to Plant?

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.
