Paeonia lactiflora Primavere Peony (4L)
Paeonia Primavere is a distinctive and elegant herbaceous peony, admired for its unique semi-double blooms and fresh, uplifting colour combination. A long-established variety, it brings a slightly different character to traditional peony planting while maintaining all the reliability and charm gardeners expect.
Flower & Seasonal Interest
Unlike fully double varieties, Primavere produces large, open blooms with a beautifully balanced structure. Soft white to creamy outer petals surround a vibrant centre of golden-yellow stamens and petaloids, creating a light, airy look with plenty of visual impact.
