Peony Bowl of Beauty

Peony ‘Bowl of Beauty’ is a timeless classic, cherished for its striking two-tone flowers. The large, bowl-shaped blooms feature soft pink, cup-like outer petals that cradle a fluffy, creamy white centre. This stunning combination creates an elegant, eye-catching display that graces gardens from late spring to early summer. Lightly fragrant and long-lasting, ‘Bowl of Beauty’ is a favourite for borders, cottage gardens, and cutting gardens.

Growing to a height of approximately 80–90 cm, this herbaceous peony is supported by strong stems, ensuring its blooms stand tall even in less-than-ideal weather. The lush green foliage adds season-long interest and serves as an excellent backdrop for its showy flowers. ‘Bowl of Beauty’ is low-maintenance and thrives in sunny locations with well-drained soil.

We provide the highest quality bare root peony roots with 3–5 eyes, guaranteeing robust growth and abundant flowering. To establish your peony successfully, plant in the spring, positioning the crown 2.5–5 cm below the soil surface, and water regularly during its growth period. With proper care, this peony will reward you with years of spectacular blooms.

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.
