Jan HoveJan Hove Posts: 1
I have a lacy leaf peony with beautiful multi-petal red flowers. I have not seen it listed. Do you know anything about this type?

    Try Paeony tenuifolia, that has different leaves to the other Paeony species.

  • I have some peonies but they only flowered the first year and I don't know why

    Jan Hove, How lacy are the leaves. With red flowers and multi petals it could well be

    Paeonia Officinalis Rubra-Plena I have two one large bush with thin bifurcated leaves a very old type which most others could originate from. Also with lacy leaves Lactiflora and Lutea, though without a picture we are guessing.

    Paeonia can have a single flower in the first year then nothing for four years one of my smaller shrubs did that but now has full bloom.

    Frank.
