White
Peonies
White peonies
have a range of range
of shades that runs
between stark white
and peachy-cream.
What you will discover when you walk through our gardens in Thomaston
is that many of our white peonies have a vibrant center. For instance,
the peony named 'Compassionate' has creamy white petals that open up
to reveal deep reddish-maroon flares at the petal base. These beautiful
peonies grow rather quickly and produce magnificent 8 inch flowers.
A
very popular white
peony is 'Phoenix
White.' This single
white tree peony
is very fast growing
and one we like
to recommend for
those gardeners
who need fast growth.
This plant will
reliably bloom
at 4 years old
and has a sweet,
fresh fragrance.
If fragrance is
equally as important
to you as visual
appeal, then you
might want to look
into white peonies
that go by the
name, 'Elegant
Fragrance in White.'
These gorgeous
blooms have a distinctively
sweet aroma, which
is where this particular
tree peony got
its name. You must
have a little bit
of patience if
you are planting
this particular
peony, because
it is on the slower
side when it comes
to blooming. Certainly,
many devoted peony
gardeners believe
it is well worth
the wait.
Another
popular white peony
is the 'Blue Sapphire,'
which has gorgeous
seven to eight
inch flowers that
open up to reveal
a deep magenta
flare. The white
petals have an
ultra soft purple
tinge to them,
which is highlighted
by the vibrant
magenta center.
This incredible
peony also has
a delicate fragrance
and magnificent
flowers that can
be similar to that
of a rose or have
full and luscious
double blooms.
White peonies add
aesthetic appeal
to any garden,
and their diverse
shades and sensual
fragrances are
a feast for the
senses.
White
Peonies for
Your Own Backyard
Paradise
At Cricket Hill Garden, we like to welcome our visitors to sit and
stay for a while, which is why you will find benches scattered throughout
the garden. It is a relaxing treat to sit down and rest while taking
in the sights, sounds, and aromas of a fragrant garden, brimming with
color and natural sound. When creating your own garden with pink and
white peonies, you might also want to put a bench or a hammock nearby,
as there is no sweeter way to enjoy the fruits of your labor.
