Peony ‘Pastelegance’

Product Details

Peony ‘Pastelegance’ is a cross between Peonies ‘Salmon Dream’ and ‘Lemon Chiffon.’ This beauty produces elegant double blossoms in tones of pale pink and cream, adding considerable romance to the spring garden and bouquets. Stamens are woven throughout the blooms, which are held on sturdy stems and framed by generously sized glossy green foliage. Winner of the American Peony Society’s grand champion or “Queen of the Show” prize. Midseason.

Peonies produce their extravagant display in early June every year, regardless of weather, because they are among the most durable and longest-lived plants. They have no natural enemies, no exacting cultural requirements beyond full sun and neutral to slightly sweet soil, and they shrug off cold. After bloom is complete, you are left with a handsome mound of glossy, deep green foliage that will happily anchor the next sequence of bloom in the neighborhood. Finally, Peonies make superior cut flowers, lasting more than a week if cut in full bud.

We ship large roots with 3 to 5 eyes that are fresh from the growing fields. While a newly planted Peony seldom makes a first-class show in its first season, these vigorous plants will reach the top of their form in their second or third year. Southern gardeners should provide afternoon shade.
