Challenge
Shirley Temple thrives best in countries with an abundance of sunshine. Hence it can be a challenge in a country like The Netherlands where sunshine comes at a premium. But for great growers it can be done, and it’s well worth it to work a little bit harder for this beautiful peony.
Origin
This peony is named after the famous American actress, Shirley Temple, the youngest Oscar winner ever. However the breeder is uncertain, we think he did a great job. Especially in Chile we can clearly see the quality’s of this variety.
Tip
Dispaly the peonies in lukewarm water after cutting the stems diagonally. Then add some sugar or flower food to the water, turn on the spotlights and it’s showtime! We also have a tip for growers, Shirley Temple can be hard to grow because she is vulnerable for Botrytis. Therefore it might be wise to check your humidity in advance.
