Paeonia lutea syn. delavayi var ludlowii | |
|
Ludlow's tree peony, Yellow tree peony
This delightful plant is usually sold when much older - and far more expensive! But my own was self sown and flowered within four years, so if carefully looked after, these young plants should reward with their first blooms, which are single and a lovely clear yellow, within two years.… |
