The story

Three layers of petals.

Big, fragrant double flowers built in layers: pink outer petals, a ruffled band of creamy ivory, then pink again in the center. Good in the garden, better in a vase, and a peony this happy will come back for decades.

Light

Full sun for the most flowers. It takes a little afternoon shade.

Water

Water during dry spells the first two years. After that it's on its own except in drought.

Planting

Plant in early fall if you can, or spring, with the eyes 1–2 in. below the surface. Don't mulch over the crown.

An unusual layered flower with real fragrance on a plant that outlives most gardeners.
