Pastel Splendor (Anderson/Seidl, 1996) Creamy white with red flares, single, midseason, 33" tall, intersectional. As named, this flower changes from pinks to yellows toward the large center of many carpels surrounded by red flares.
A peony for the romantic garden. Large simple flower of a cup shape. The yellow petals, nearly cream-colored, are streaked of fine lines of a very pale pink. The margin of each petal is edged of rose. But it is the center of the flower that draws the attention! A crimson stain marks the basis of each of the ten petals, which surrounds a fine crown of white stamens. This contrast between the dark center and the very pale yellow petals illuminate the center of the flower. The stems are robust and carry the flowers well above foliage. Height 90 cm. Start blooming at mid-season.
Pivoine idéale our les jardins romantiques. Grande fleur simple dont les pétales jaunes, presque crèmes, sont striés de fines lignes d’un rose très pâle. La marge de chaque pétale est bordée de rose. Le centre de la fleur attire le regard! Une ligule pourpre marque la base de chacun des dix pétales, lesquels entourent une fine couronne d’étamines blanches. Ce contraste entre le cœur pourpre et les pétales d’un jaune très pâle illumine le centre de la fleur. Les tiges sont robustes et portent les fleurs bien au-dessus du feuillage. Plant atteignant généralement 90 cm. Floraison en mi-saison i.e.débutant vers le 20 juin à la pivoinerie.
