Paeonia lactiflora

Een adembenemende pioenroos. Een buitenste rij lichtroze bloembladen omringt een spectaculair hart bestaande uit vele tot smalle bloemblaadjes vergroeide meeldraden. Deze zijn zeer contrasterend gekleurd met roze, witte en paarse tinten. Enige variatie in bloempresentatie op een plant zijn mogelijk. Enkele zijknoppen. Een zeer goede tuinplant door de fraaie planthabitat, de spectaculaire bloeiwijze en de grote groeikracht. Bovendien nog altijd een zeldzaam voorkomende pioenroos. Bekroond met de APS Gold Medal in 2004

Paeonia lactiflora
A breathtaking peony. Light pink guard petals surrounding a spectacular center consisting of many staminodes of great contrasting colors in pink, white and purple shades. Some variation in flowering presentation in one plant is possible. Sidebuds present. A prime landscape peony because of its fine planthabit, the spectacular flowering and the high vigour. A special peony, rightfully awarded with the APS Gold Medal in 2004

(+6) Splendid Japanese flower with highly contrasting colors ! Large flower with pale pink petals, almost white, creating a superb contrast with the fluffy center forms of a blend of different tones of pink and white. Upright stems with lateral buds extending the blooming season. Mid-season bloomer. Height of 80 cm. A true classic!

(+6) Magnifique japonaise aux couleurs contrastées! Grande fleur dont les pétales de garde d'un rose très pâle, presque blanc, forment un magnifique contraste avec le centre plumeux d'où émane un mélange de différentes teintes de rose et du blanc. Tiges érigées portant des bourgeons latéraux prolongeant la floraison. Floraison mi-saison. Hauteur : 80 cm. Un grand classique !
