Description
Paeonia lactiflora ‘Sebastiaan Maas’ is a sturdy herbaceous peony of fine stature prized for its large double, bright pink flowers and its pleasant fragrance. Its prolonged, fairly late flowering extends the peony season in the garden. Not very susceptible to diseases, it lives for a long time in herbaceous borders and romantic gardens. Its very pink flowers always make an impact in flower arrangements.
This variety belongs to the Paeoniaceae family. It is derived from Paeonia lactiflora, the Chinese peony or Chinese herbaceous peony which bears the Latin names Paeonia albiflora, Paeonia edulis, Paeonia fragrans and Paeonia sinensis. It is a deciduous perennial native to temperate Asia. This peony can be found in the wild from southeastern Siberia to northern and eastern China, as well as in Mongolia, Manchuria and the Russian Far East.
The cultivar ‘Sebastiaan Maas’ was raised in the Netherlands in 1984. The plant forms a dense, regular and upright clump over time, reaching 90cm to 1m in height, even more in rich soil, with a spread of 50 to 80cm. It establishes slowly, but gets bigger over the years. Flowering occurs between May and June, earlier or later, depending on the climate. The flowers are double to very double, large, full, from pure pink to deep pink depending on the stage of opening. Their centre is tighter, more crumpled. They emit a pleasant fragrance and are borne on sturdy stems equipped with lateral buds that slightly prolong the flowering. The deciduous foliage is composed of slightly glossy grey-green leaves tinged with reddish-brown, with smooth leaflets. It remains decorative all summer before disappearing in autumn. As with other herbaceous peonies, its crown is fleshy, thick, durable, and does not like to be moved.
This vigorous peony has a place in a large herbaceous border, in a wide border, or near a path, where its flowers can be easily picked. Its bright pink colour pairs easily with pastel blooms. Surround it with white and pink foxgloves, clumps of Astrantia ‘Roma’, campanulas ‘Loddon Anna’, and a pastel pink peony, 'Shirley Temple' for example.

Planting and care
The best time to plant 'Sebastiaan Maas' peonies is in autumn. Plant peonies in full sun or in a bright position (at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day), spaced 60cm apart. They appreciate cold winters, which promote dormancy and flower formation. The soil should be loose, deep, fertile and moist. They need space and dislike competition from other species. Prepare a hole 50cm deep and mix an organic fertiliser into your soil, partly refill, place your plants and cover with 4-5cm of soil above the buds. After planting, firm down and water generously.

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).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
