Growth Characteristics: Peony 'Pillow Talk' grows to a height of approximately 60 to 90 cm and features broad, green leaves. The pink flowers that bloom in the summer are large, round, and have a strong fragrance. It thrives in sunny locations but can also grow in partial shade.

Propagation Method: This variety is generally propagated by root division. The most suitable time is autumn, when the plant enters its dormant period.

Cultivation Method: Peonies prefer well-drained soil and grow best in fertile soil. Planting depth should be such that the rhizome is located just below the soil, and avoid planting too deeply. In the spring, provide ample manure and fertilizer to boost vitality. After blooming, pruning off withered flowers helps the plant store energy, allowing for a beautiful bloom the following year.

These issues can be prevented by maintaining well-drained soil and ensuring good ventilation by planting them sparingly. If damage is severe, control measures should be taken using appropriate fungicides.
