Peony 'Elsa Sass', 'Elsa Sass' Peony, Chinese Peony 'Elsa Sass', Common Garden Peony 'Elsa Sass', White Peonies
Award-winner Peony ‘Elsa Sass’ (Paeonia lactiflora) is incredibly beautiful with its large, velvety, white, fully double blossoms. Resembling roses, the large flowers are so packed with delicately incurved inner petals that the golden stamens are almost hidden. Slightly fragrant, the blooms are borne on stiff, strong stems and are pleasantly complemented by an outstanding foliage. A very compact plant of great beauty, either in a vase or in the spring garden.
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.
