  The large and showy flowers of this gorgeous tree peony will add a sumptuous splash of colour to the garden in late spring and early summer. Packed with gently ruffled petals, the deep-red flowers have a light perfume, and when fully open, they reveal a contrasting ring of plush golden stamens. A head-turning addition to the border, the flowers of 'Mo Run Jue Lun' can also be cut and enjoyed in a vase.
  Our woody-stemmed peonies are field-grown, sturdy plants with extensive roots that have been potted up since lifting in the Autumn. When purchasing earlier in the season (Feb-March) the root system should be well developed although you may find some compost falls away when you are planting them out and this is perfectly natural for the time of year.
  
  
• Garden care: Deadhead after flowering. In early spring apply a top-dressing of a balanced slow release fertiliser around the base of the plant and mulch with well rotted garden compost or manure. The older stems of tree peonies have a tendency to become brittle and snap so cut these back to the ground in autumn every two or three years.
