'NORTHWIND MAIDEN' Peony (Paeonia x lactiflora 'northwind maiden')

Early mid-season, pink, fully-double blosoom with one bloom per stem. Each six-inch blossom has two or three rows of rounded guard petals with smaller, folded, notched, and frilled inner petals. Irregular fading with age provides progression of visual interest. Stamens embedded among petals at center with their filaments yellow provide a warm glow. No fragrance. Prominent bud covers prevent damage during early season wet conditions. Early foliage emerges red. Mature foliage blue-green, broad-pointed. Upright growth to 34 inches, mechanical support not needed. Named for its presumed relationship to ‘Manitowoc Maiden’ and for the winds coming off Lake Michigan in the locale in which it originated.
