Paeonia lact. 'Angel Cheeks'

Overview & Features

• Paeonia lactiflora ‘Angel Cheeks’ is a classic double herbaceous peony known for its soft pink, fully double blooms.

• Flowers feature layers of blush-pink outer petals surrounding a deeper pink, ruffled centre.

• Lightly fragrant blooms appear in late spring to early summer.

• Strong stems carry the large flower heads above lush, deeply divided green foliage.

• Typically grows to 80–90 cm in height and spread.

• Ideal for mixed borders, cottage gardens, and feature planting.

• Excellent as a cut flower due to its form and fragrance.

• Attractive to bees and other pollinators.

This variety is prized for its romantic colouring and impressive, full blooms.

Planting & Positioning

• Plant in full sun for the best flowering performance.

• Tolerates light partial shade, though flowering may be reduced.

• Prefers fertile, well-drained soil enriched with organic matter.

• Avoid heavy, waterlogged soils, particularly in winter.

• Improve soil with compost or well-rotted manure before planting.

• Plant with the crown buds no more than 3–5 cm below the soil surface.

• Planting too deeply may prevent flowering.

• Choose a sheltered position protected from strong winds.

• Space plants 80–100 cm apart to allow for mature growth.

Peonies prefer to remain undisturbed once established.

Watering, Feeding & Flowering

• Water regularly during the first growing season to establish strong roots.

• Keep soil evenly moist during dry spells in spring and early summer.

• Avoid waterlogging, especially in winter months.

• Feed in early spring with a balanced fertiliser to support healthy growth and flowering.

• Apply a light mulch of compost in spring, keeping it away from the crown.

• Flowering typically occurs in late spring to early summer.

• Remove spent blooms promptly to maintain a tidy appearance.

Consistent moisture during active growth helps produce larger, healthier blooms.

Pruning, Maintenance & General Care

• Deadhead flowers after blooming to prevent seed formation.

• Allow foliage to remain through summer to build energy for the following year.

• Cut back stems to ground level in autumn once foliage has naturally died back.

• Divide only if necessary in autumn, as peonies dislike disturbance.

• Support heavy blooms with plant supports if required.

• Generally long-lived and low maintenance once established.

• Avoid moving plants unless absolutely necessary.

With full sun, fertile soil, and correct planting depth, Paeonia lactiflora ‘Angel Cheeks’ will provide beautiful double blooms and reliable performance for many years.
