'LORELEI' Peony (Paeonia x lactiflora 'lorelei')

AVAILABLE ONLY IN FALL!

This hard-to-find peony is prized for its unusual color and form. The blossom is amongst the largest of all peonies. Starting out as cherry-colored buds tinted with a bit of orange, 'Lorelei' opens into a wonderfully fragrant, 10″ rich, rosy-orange flower. You’ll be mesmerized with the magical transformation of the flowers as the petals become apricot-colored, then pink, and then finally soft-cream. Lorelei’s fabulous blossoms are fully-double and held high on thick 26" stems. An excellent selection for gorgeous cut-flowers in the mid-season.
