    It's a paeony. probably a tree paeony, has it got any woody stems?



    In the sticks near Peterborough

    Thank you for all your help and pleased to finally know what it is ! I guess one more question then is what to do with it once it has finished flowering? (It is currently in a pot kindly left by the previous owners).

    Will be better planted out in the garden. They are hungry plants and to flower well they need food.

    if it's in a pot, when you plant it in the ground don't plant it any deeper than the soil level in the pot or it won't flower
