Choosing a location
Peonies need to be in an open position where they get packed sun. They don�t enjoy to be shaded by trees, shrubs or over-hanging branches. By the day they�re fully grown (after about three years) they need to have at least a metre worth of free space around them.
Peonies are frigid climate plants and ask for two or three gentle white frosts to be sure that they will flower well the obeying spring. Being planted in the open as described above not only allows full sun, but also means that they will be exposed to any frosts and not sheltered by buildings or trees.

Paeonia 'GAY PAREE' perennial peony
Description of the plant:
Gay Pareeis a Chinese peonywhose flowers resemble cheerful dancers of dirty can-can in Moulin Rouge and their even dirtier underskirts. They are composed of a single colour fuchsia pink skirt with multiple underskirts of creamy white colour with rosy pink ribbons. Very special and very eye-catching. Isn&#;t that what can-can was all about? Flowers are fragrant, unseal from about mid May until early June atop cm tall stems which are strong enough not to require staking. Deciduous leaves are rather dense, deep green, glossy, and palmately divided.These peonies are great plants not only for perennial beds and borders, they also stare very elegant combined with shrubs and trees where they soften their woody structures. They also create beautiful cut flowers, though, they never last more than a week. They are one of the easiest perennials to expand &#; just make sure you don&#;t put their rhizomes too deep. Then you'll have no trouble whatsoever - they can take almost any thoughtful of weather caprice and full neglect. P
