Peony Border Charm

Peony ‘Border Charm’ is a lovely Itoh hybrid with soft, semi-double blooms in a buttery yellow color, with a hint of blush at the base of each petal. The flowers have a cluster of golden stamens in the center, creating a bright display that lights up borders and beds. Blooming from late spring to early summer, this peony combines the beauty and strength of both herbaceous and tree peonies.

‘Border Charm’ is compact and perfect for smaller spaces. It grows to a manageable height, and its strong stems do not need staking. The dark green leaves are finely cut and stay vibrant throughout the season, providing structure and greenery even after the blooms fade. This hardy, low-maintenance peony thrives in well-drained, fertile soil and enjoys full sun or partial shade.

We offer the highest quality bare root peonies with 3–5 eyes, ensuring healthy growth and many beautiful flowers. For best results, plant in spring with the crown 2.5–5 cm below the soil surface, and water regularly during the growing season. With proper care, ‘Border Charm’ will continue to bloom beautifully year after year.

Newly planted peonies may not look their best in their first season, but they will reach their full potential in the second or third year.
