Notable characteristics: Very large double flowers of rose-pink with lighter edges. A few inner petals are edged in dark pink-red. Fragrant and vigorous with dark green foliage. A registered peony since 1906, by the famed French horticulturalist, Victor Lemoine. The remarkable three-generation, family nursery was located in Nancy and produced new varieties of peonies, lilacs, geraniums and other flowering plants from 1849-1968.
This peony is now grown worldwide as a cut flower. It performs very well in the cutting garden, but will need stem support as a display plant.
