'MYRTLE GENTRY' Peony (Paeonia x lactiflora 'myrtle gentry')

Our Grandmother's really did know their peonies and this was a favorite. An heirloom treasure from 1925, the rose-shaped flowers of 'Myrtle Gentry' are impressively sized (up to 10” across!) with nicely rounded petals. We love these plants for their soft, hybrid tea-rose scent toward the end of the season. Late mid-season blooming on sturdy 34" stems. Will need support in the garden for best display. After bloom is complete, you are left with a handsome mound of glossy, deep green foliage that will happily anchor other flowering plants in the garden. Excellent as cutting flowers. EXTREMELY LIMITED QUANTITY.
