'WHITE CAP' Peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'white cap')

AVAILABLE ONLY IN FALL!

A truly unique Japanese-style peony. 'White Cap' sports a bright beetroot-red guard-petal cup surrounding a feathery center of buff-hued petaloids that fade to white as the flowers open wide. One of the most intoxicating of peony fragrances, as well as having one of the sturdiest stems; no staking needed. Winner of the American Peony Society's 1999 Gold Medal and 2009 Award of Landscape Merit. You should not overlook this selection for your garden. Blooms in the mid-season.
