Description
Fragrant, large, full double flower opens in shades of medium to dark pink, with petal margins frosted when mature. The color is more intense and darker in cool spring climate. Broad outer petals, with the segments grading narrower inward, are generously furnished with wavy petals and good substance. A sumptuous flower of nicely tailored, exhibition quality form. This peony has a very satisfying plant habit. It is vigorous and reliable bloomer with ample color on a medium height bush. The increase is above average growing a large clump within a few years of planting. Strong stems with excellent cut flower qualities display a very attractive color under fluorescent lighting. Long stems, spreading when in open flower in the landscape, require mechanical support for the best results. The foliage is deep green and remains healthy throughout the growing season. A remarkable peony that makes a great addition to a cut flower garden the sunny border.
