Peony Gardenia

An old Peony, but ever so pretty. When writing the texts for many of these Peonies that we offer, I sometimes look at the website of the American Peony Society. An association of Peony enthusiasts that share their passion for Peonies with each other. This is what they wrote about this beautiful Peony: ‘Although shown first time in 1949, peony experts have already given it their approval. The perfect plants with strong stems, which hold the large bloom perfectly erect, are loaded each year with very large double, beautifully formed Gardenia like bloom. The form, texture and substance of the bloom suggested its name. Cut in bud the bloom is flesh, and when allowed to bloom on the plant the bloom is a beautiful giant gardenia formed white. It won the CHAMPION RIBBON in flesh class in 1950. Good garden and show variety. You can win with Gardenia. Blooms midseason.’
