Peony Potted.
Unlabelled it could be white, magenta or another colour.
Coming away nicely in its pot with Spring growth.
Peonies are beautiful flowers in the garden, roselike in appearance. Ideally they need a sunny sheltered spot as the blooms are large, and a square metre of garden to spread out in. They die down below ground level in winter and come away in the Spring with new growth. They are reasonably drought tolerant with their thick tuberous roots.
The flowers picked while still in bud are popular florist blooms.
I have pictured some peony flowers but I cant tell you whether this peony will be one of these or something different. Its a potluck in more ways than one.
The potted plant in the terracotta colour plastic pot is the Peony on sale.
Pickup is in Kuripuni.
Thanks for looking.
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
