Gardenia

Gardenia, a timeless and beloved lactiflora peony, has been captivating peony experts since its first appearance in 1949. This outstanding variety features perfect plants with strong stems, gracefully holding large blooms in an erect position. Each year, Gardenia showcases very large double flowers with a beautifully formed appearance reminiscent of gardenias. The bloom’s form, texture, and substance inspired its name, aligning perfectly with its characteristics. When cut in bud, the bloom displays a flesh color, while allowing it to fully open on the plant reveals a stunning, giant gardenia-like white bloom. In 1950, Gardenia earned the prestigious Champion Ribbon in the flesh class, further solidifying its status as a winning garden and show variety. Embrace the allure of Gardenia and let its midseason blooms bring elegance and beauty to your garden.
