Peony 'Whopper', 'Whopper' Peony, Chinese Peony 'Whopper', Common Garden Peony 'Whopper', Pink Peonies
Slightly fragrant, Peony ‘Whopper’ (Paeonia lactiflora) produces remarkable, large, satin pink flowers, 6 in. wide (15 cm), with gently ruffled guard petals surmounted by a ring of creamy-yellow petaloids and topped by a dome of pink and creamy-white petals. Borne on strong stems, the eye-catching blooms are striking either in arrangements or in the 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.
