I agree with
Michael's assessment of Mother's Choice - it is perhaps the
best double white lactiflora that I grow - the flower form is
really great on this one. It has some fragrance too, which is not
mentioned in the APS checklist.
Another close favorite, which
is really blush-white, is Mary Eddy Jones. I have been awed
by the flowers it has put out the last few years - absolutely huge
blossoms. I entered it in our local peony show and it came close
to being considered best in show - a few petal blemishes were the
only thing against it.
Unfortunately, it does have a fault -
the flowers are so heavy that stems can snap, even when supported.
Nevertheless, I wouldn't want to be without it.
This year it
was one of the most vigorous peonies in my yard.
A close second
for vigor would be Glory Hallelujah, dark pink lacti. It's
stems are strong, but it will bend down in full bloom and benefits
from support too. It is one of the last to bloom in my yard and I
value it for extending the season.
For earlier hybrids,
Smouthi, Firebelle and Burma Ruby are showy favorites that stand
up well without support. Ludovica is another hybrid (pink) that is
a favorite of mine. If it has a fault, it would be that the
flowers gradually fade white and need deadheading. It is one of
the shortest peonies I grow.
Does anyone grow Taki No Yoso'oi
(not sure if I have the spelling correct)? If so, can you
distinguish it from Sarah Bernhardt? I received a misnamed peony
a
few years from a nursery that also listed Taki. I haven't had
a chance to compare it (my Sarah Bernhardt is in a different
yard), but I suspect it may be Sarah or Taki No Yoso'oi. Brian
