Empire State is a double peony with beautiful lavender-pink flowers that have notched tips, forming full, fluffy blooms. The plant features a tall, sturdy stem, and its flowering period falls in the middle of the season. A distinctive feature of this peony is its enticing fragrance, which adds a special atmosphere to any garden, making it more elegant and attractive.
For successful cultivation, Empire State should be planted in sunny or partially shaded areas with moderately dry, fresh, and nutrient-rich soil. Avoid heavy soils, as they may negatively affect plant development. A planting hole of 60x60x60 cm should be prepared one month before planting to allow the soil to settle and aerate.
When planting, position the sapling so that the soil layer is 3-5 cm above the buds, ensuring optimal conditions for growth and flowering. Incorrect planting depth may result in the absence of flowering. The variety's characteristics will become evident 2-3 years after transplanting, so patience and proper care are essential.
