I have several of these peonies from a division of an old plant and they are reliable and fragrant. This flower shape is described in literature as bomb shaped (fine center petals - double - with larger outer petals).
Clear white color, prominent pink stigma, and very fine inner petals define this flower. Has a strong sweet fragrance.
This peony seems to bloom a little early in my region and the petals fall rather quickly, both on the plant and in the vase. The stigma remain a long time and have an interesting shape on the bush or in arrangements.
The flowers are not as heavy or large as some varieties so it doesn't droop too much. The flower shape and fine petals give it a more natural, wild appearance.
