Peony Pietertje Vriend Wagenaar

Peony ‘Pietertje Vriend Wagenaar’ is an exquisite variety known for its soft pink, semi-double blooms with elegantly ruffled petals and a subtle silver sheen. As the flowers open in late spring to early summer, they reveal a gentle creamy blush at the centre, exuding a delicate and romantic charm. This peony is lightly fragrant, making it a perfect choice for adding elegance to garden borders, cutting gardens, or mixed beds.

This variety is supported by sturdy stems that hold its impressive blooms upright, even in breezy conditions, while the lush, deep green foliage provides an attractive backdrop throughout the season. Fully hardy and easy to grow, ‘Pietertje Vriend Wagenaar’ thrives in sunny to partially shaded locations with well-drained, fertile soil. Its unique colouration and reliable performance make it a standout choice for both new and seasoned gardeners.

We supply the highest quality bare root peony roots with 3–5 eyes, ensuring vigorous growth and abundant flowers. For optimal results, plant in spring with the crown positioned 2.5–5 cm below the soil surface, and water regularly during the growing season. With proper care, ‘Pietertje Vriend Wagenaar’ will grace your garden for years to come.

Newly planted peonies seldom make a first-class show in their first season, instead reaching the top of their form in their second or third year.
