Planting Time

Wondering when to plant the Illini Warrior? The optimal periods are spring (March to May) or autumn (September to November) when the plant is dormant.

Planting Depth

Plant the rhizome at a depth of 10 to 15 cm, ensuring the buds are just below the soil surface and facing upwards.

Spacing

Allow a gap of 60 to 80 cm between plants to ensure sufficient room for growth and the formation of impressive clumps.

Planting Method

Prepare the ground by thoroughly loosening the soil and enriching it with compost. Dig a hole of the right depth, place the rhizome, cover with soil, and gently firm it down. Water generously after planting to aid rooting.

Position

The Illini Warrior flourishes best in sunny spots or light partial shade, promoting abundant blooms.

Soil

It prefers fertile, humus-rich soil with good drainage and a neutral to slightly acidic pH level.

Care

Regular watering is crucial, especially during dry spells, but avoid waterlogging the soil. Springtime multi-component fertilisation and summer application of flowering-supporting fertilisers ensure lush growth and vibrant flowers. Support tall stems to prevent breakage. After flowering, remove spent blooms to encourage further growth.

Flowering Period

The Paeonia Illini Warrior blooms from June to July, adding intense colour and elegance to your garden.

Digging and Storage

Fully frost-resistant, the Illini Warrior doesn’t need to be dug up for winter and can remain in place for many years, retaining its health and beauty.

Preferred Companions

This variety pairs beautifully with plants of contrasting colours, such as lilies, irises, or ornamental grasses. Alongside other perennials, it creates harmonious and striking compositions.

Uses

The Paeonia Illini Warrior is perfect for borders, formal gardens, and as a cut flower. Its durability in a vase makes it ideal for interior decoration, adding elegance and vibrancy.

Disease Resistance

This variety boasts high resistance to diseases and pests, ensuring it remains easy to care for and reliable to cultivate.

Additional Tips

To enjoy the best blooms, plant the Illini Warrior in well-sunned areas, avoiding deep shade. Regular fertilisation and moderate watering are key to healthy plants and spectacular flowers. Remember, peonies dislike frequent transplanting, so choose a permanent spot in your garden.
