Peony 'Edulis Superba', 'Edulis Superba' Peony, Chinese Peony 'Edulis Superba', Garden Peony 'Edulis Superba', Pink Peonies
Delightfully fragrant, Peony ‘Edulis Superba’ (Paeonia lactiflora) has been favored by gardeners for over 100 years. Why? Wonderfully fragrant, it features attractive double blossoms of bright rose-pink petals adorned with a collar of smaller ivory petals at their heart. They are borne in profusion, on rather bending stems, atop the excellent foliage. A fascinating sight! This variety thrives in heavy soil.
Peonies are a classic ingredient of the perennial border and have been in cultivation for over 2000 years. Beloved for their abundant blooms, the beauty of their exquisite flowers, their delightful fragrance, and their bold foliage changing shades over the seasons, peony flowers add a dazzling splash of color in the late spring and early summer garden. Virtually carefree once established, they live for generations, are deer proof, and produce some of the best cut flowers – making them one of Nature’s loveliest perennials! Peony bouquets are a favorite of florists and many brides-to-be. Why not enjoy a peony bouquet at home? Paeonia lactiflora or Chinese Peony is native to central Asia, from eastern Siberia through Mongolia to northern China.
