Description / Paeonia 'Dublin' Patio Peony
Paeonia 'Dublin' is a diminutive, late-blooming peony, growing to only 24 inches tallbred for patio pots and small-space gardens. Blooming heavily in late spring, 'Dublin' sets large, saucer-shaped flowers with white petals and a deep yellow heart that make lovely cut flowers. Borne on short, sturdy stems, the single flowers sit perched above a compact mound of glossy, deep green leaves that remain attractive all season and may color up in fall, taking on shades of purple, rusty orange, or gold.
A Paeonia lactiflora, commonly called peony or Chinese peony, 'Dublin' is a reliable and long-lived, cold-hardy, herbaceous perennial ideal for Zones 3-8. This peony grows quickly and features an upright, bushy habit that makes it a versatile choice for any garden. Whether used as a standout specimen or accent plant, 'Dublin' adds elegance to landscapes. It's well-suited for planting in 6- to 10-inch pots but can also thrive in garden settings.
Requiring minimal care, 'Dublin' peony grows best in sunny or partially shaded areas with airy, fertile, medium moist, and well-draining soil. In regions with hot summers, afternoon shade helps protect the plant, while shelter from strong winds ensures its health. Regular watering during the growing season, especially during extreme heat, is important. Apply a balanced fertilize in spring to meet the plant's heavy feeding needs. With natural resistance to deer and rabbits, this peony is an adaptable addition to most gardens.
In spring, plant the entire 'Dublin' peony root 1½ deep in potting soil. To form buds, peonies need at least 8 weeks of cold winter temperatures. Warmer conditions help roots grow, while cooler weather encourages shoot (eye) development. Ensure the plants meet their cooling requirements for proper shoot growth. When planting in the garden, choose a sheltered spot away from trees and shrubs to minimize competition. Peonies dislike being moved and perform best when left undisturbed. Cold winters are essential for bud formation, making these peonies less suitable for Zones 9 and higher.
