Cricket Hill Garden

Paeonia, 'Anelise' tree peony

$ 95

Notable characteristics: Renown tree peony breeder Franklin Chow gave us several white tree peony seedlings many years ago. He promised that all would prove to be “good ones” and this prediction has been borne out over time. One of these plants, however, stood out for its exceptionally vigorous growth and enormous flowers. The unfurling buds are fist sized, and the flowers head sized! Fully double blossoms are pure white with the rockii parentage belied by the dark flares at the center.
