How to grow Paeonia 'Rome' in NZ

Paeonia 'Rome' grows best in full sun or light afternoon shade with fertile, well drained soil enriched with organic matter. Plant the crown just below the soil surface, water regularly while establishing and during extended dry periods, and feed with a balanced slow release fertiliser each spring. Apply a light mulch to conserve moisture without covering the crown.

Paeonia 'Rome' care tips

Paeonia 'Rome' is easy to maintain once established. Remove spent flowers after blooming and cut stems back to ground level once the foliage dies down in autumn. Avoid planting the crown too deeply as this can reduce flowering. Water during prolonged dry spells and divide mature clumps only when necessary.

Paeonia 'Rome' size, spacing, and growth rate

Paeonia 'Rome' typically grows 80 to 100 cm tall and 70 to 90 cm wide. Space plants about 80 to 100 cm apart to encourage good airflow and healthy growth. Growth is moderate, with flowering becoming increasingly impressive as the plant matures.

Landscaping uses for Paeonia 'Rome'

Paeonia 'Rome' is ideal for perennial borders, cottage gardens, mixed plantings, and cut flower gardens.
