Romantic Lupins, Irises & Peonies with Sarah Raven & Arthur Parkinson - Episode 21

While the boldness of Lupins might be unfairly mistaken for a lack of subtlety, and many gardeners overlook Irises and Peonies, Sarah and Arthur feel it’s high time for a renaissance of these romantic, vigorous flowers.

From the rousing rouge tones of Terracotta to the rich, cool tones of Dusky Challenger, there’s a strong case for adding these gorgeous varieties to your garden - they should be praised just as much for their aesthetic merit as for their low maintenance. Perhaps you’ll discover your new favourite flower, or a variety to become the perfect colourful companion for your garden border.

In this episode, discover:

• The family of striking, bold Lupins, perfect for any border • Beautiful Irises, and the influx of colour they bring to a garden • Magnificent peonies - the queen of the cut flowers • Sarah & Arthur’s favourite selections of each, with helpful tips on how and when to plant them • Advice for keeping Lupin Aphids at bay
