Peony Marshal Mac-Magon

Pion of the variety General Mac Magon — this is a classic milky-pink peony, bred in France in 1867. It features large, double flowers up to 16 centimeters in diameter with a rich raspberry-red hue and a light, subtle fragrance. The flowers are dense, coronal, and spherical, giving the plant exceptional decorative appeal. The bushes reach a height of about one meter, with dark green leaves and medium-strength stems. This variety blooms profusely and moderately late, allowing you to enjoy its bright flowers over an extended period.

This peony is highly cold-resistant and disease-resistant, making it low-maintenance. For successful cultivation, choose sunny spots or light partial shade with nutrient-rich, well-drained soil of neutral or slightly acidic pH. Optimal soil types are loams amended with compost, sand, and mineral fertilizers such as superphosphate and potassium sulfate, or wood ash. Proper planting is crucial, avoiding proximity to trees and shrubs to ensure good growth and abundant flowering.

Care for the General Mac Magon peony includes regular watering, fertilization, and winter pruning of stems. With proper location selection and adherence to agronomic practices, this variety can thrive in one place for over 20 years, becoming a striking feature in flower beds, mixed borders, rest areas, and parterres. The tall bush during flowering may require support to maintain its decorative appearance and prevent damage.
