Double type; medium size; very early. Guard and center petals bright old-rose pink, with a collar of distinctly lighter narrow petals; very fragrant. Usually develops a crown as the flower ages. Tall; extremely floriferous; with excellent foliage and rather bending stems.

A very old, tried and true variety, largely planted for its very early bloom. Also a popular and desirable commercial variety widely grown for cut-flowers. Included by vote of Directors in spite of its rating.

Deze zeer oude cultivar wordt nog steeds tamelijk veel gekweekt. De plant bloeit vroeg en geurt aangenaam. Als snijbloem is deze redelijk goed en ook als tuinpioen is 'Edulis Superba' aan te bevelen.

Comments: Introduced in 1824, this peony is over 180 years old. It has to have something going for it to still be in commerce after such a long time. Who says newer is better? I’m betting that one reason it is still such a desirable peony is the fragrance. Yes, there are splashier varieties and yes some have bigger flowers and don’t need to be staked but if fragrance and history are important decision criteria, this peony should be on the list.
