(Mid-May) One of the most popular varieties in the Netherlands, a breath-taking peony with soft pink blooms with stunning darker pink outer petals. It's a popular choice for cut flowers because of its lovely sweet scent and sturdy stems.
(Mid-May) Petals mimic that of a rose with silvery coral pink tones within the double blooms. Fragrant and mid-sized bloom.

(Mid-May) A peony prized for its unusual color. They begin with dark buds that spiral open to a gorgeous dark pink-orange and mature to a beautiful array of coral, apricot, and salmon, magnificently multicolored as they transition. The effect is a bouquet of soft colors with a sweet and spicy scent.
(Early/mid-May) Exceptionally rich in substance and texture, gigantic deep crimson blooms are made up of a single row of outer petals that surround an explosion of smaller and heavily ruffled petals that expand as the flower opens. Especially enticing is this beauty’s old rose fragrance with just a hint of cloves.
(Late-May) Large, fragrant, fully double flowers that really do resemble their namesake, both in looks and delicious scent. Compact buds open to reveal layers and layers of ruffled, creamy white petals with variable crimson marks and/or a whisper-pink blush.
