'PIETERTJE VRIEND WAGENAAR' Peony (Paeonia x lactiflora 'pietertje vriend wagenaar')
Time to PAY ATTENTION. This is a very special variety. With a prolific dark-pink speckle through the entirety of its petals, 'Pietertje Vriend Wagenaar' (PVW) has a surreal appearance, as if lifted straight from the pages of an artist’s sketchbook. This unique pink stippling effect is applied over well-groomed, fully-double flowers in a medium bubblegum-pink. Plants produce large flowers in abundance on strong 34" stems with attractive, deep-green foliage. Currently the superior speckled-double variety, PVW was awarded the highest of accolades with the American Peony Society Gold medal in 2018 and was selected as their peony of the year in 2019. A great choice for those looking to grow something unique but with an air of familiarity. Side buds extend the late-season blooming period. Mildly fragrant. Still very limited commercially and not found in many collections. VERY LIMITED QUANTITY! (Friend, 1996)
