Description
Patio Peony 'Dublin' is a compact and generous late-flowering variety, perfect for balconies, terraces, or small borders. Its large single flowers are pure white, enhanced with a golden centre, and bloom in late spring. Its dark green, dense and slightly glossy foliage forms a sturdy clump that does not exceed 50 to 60 cm. The freshness and elegance of this 'Dublin' variety will be appreciated in the garden as well as on the terrace.
Patio Peony 'Dublin' belongs to the Paeoniaceae family, derived from Paeonia lactiflora, also known as the Chinese peony or herbaceous peony. The 'Dublin' cultivar was developed by a Dutch nursery. Patio Peonies are hybrids with a naturally compact habit, particularly suited to container cultivation. The plants exhibit reduced growth, generally under 80 cm, and robust stems that support the flowers without requiring staking. They still retain the typical ornamental characteristics of classic peonies: large, very decorative, often fragrant flowers, and excellent hardiness. These peonies are the result of relatively recent horticultural work aimed at making this emblematic plant accessible to a wider audience, particularly in urban settings. Patio Peony 'Dublin' has a bushy and compact habit, reaching 50-60 cm in height and 40 cm in spread. The deeply divided leaves are dark green with a slight sheen, providing a beautiful setting for the white flowers. The single, cup-shaped flowers measure approximately 12 cm in diameter. Each consists of white petals surrounding a large centre of prominent yellow stamens. Flowering occurs at the end of the peony season, in June. The aerial growth is deciduous: it dies back in autumn and emerges from the ground the following spring.
Peony 'Dublin' captures the morning light like fine porcelain. It is well suited to cultivation in pots or can be tucked into the front of borders. To complement its whiteness, pair it with the airy spikes of Heuchera 'Silver Scrolls', the pale lavender inflorescences of Nepeta faassenii 'Walker's Low' and the anise-green foliage of Lady's Mantle, for example. Together, these plants create a soft scene, ideal for establishing a serene and poetic atmosphere.

Planting and care
The Patio Peony 'Dublin', like all peonies, dislikes being moved, so careful consideration must be given to its planting location. It can be grown in pots or in open ground. The best time to plant is in spring or autumn. Plant the crowns in a sunny or bright position, in deep, well-loosened soil, and most importantly, properly drained. They require space and dislike competition from other species. Prepare a hole 50 x 50 x 50 cm, add a thin layer of sand or gravel at the bottom to drain the roots, mix organic fertiliser into your soil, partially backfill, position your young plants and cover with 6 cm of soil above the buds. After planting, firm down and water thoroughly. Once established, this peony requires no watering at all in summer in most regions, as it enters dormancy. In hot climates and particularly dry summers, however, a thorough watering every fortnight will be appreciated.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
