Hi, i've been at my house for 13 years and this plant has never done much, hidden away but having cut back my garden a couple of years ago, this year it's flourished and bloomed, i'd love to know what it is, its about 5ft tall, any ideas?
Thank you x

Looks like Paeonia delavayi lutea. A species tree paeony. I have the dark red version.
It sure am!
I love these. It's obviously much happier now. They don't mind a bit of shade but not too much
In the sticks near Peterborough
Deffo tree peony, have a look at Forun picture gallery a beaut' picture of one yesterday. Enjoy.
great, thank you everyone. I thought it was a peony but didn't think they came in such big sizes!
As with all peonies just a shame they have no scent.
My "Dai Jin" has a superb scent. It attracts rose chafer beetles. It is supposed to be a tree peony with red and white striped flowers. Last year it had one red, one white and one striped. This year so far it has one red and two white, one of which started off as a pink bud. but i can forgive it for the scent beats the wallflower and the bluebells which abound in my garden at this time of year. My yellow one has lots of flowers this year and loads of seeds already. It has grown to over 14feet so the peonies loved the wet year we have just had.
