Sold OutLe Cratère Peony (“Crater”)
Tremblay / G. & D. Maltais, 2016
Canadian Peony Society’s Peony of the Year 2022
Parentage: ‘Pink Princess’ x Peregrina. Flower petal formation gives a soup bowl effect which is accentuated by the well-defined colour distribution in the petals, the basal half being pale saffron yellow (forming the bowl) and the terminal half in pink reflexing back to form a wide rim for the bowl.
Flowers are long lasting, blooming prolonged with side buds. Early mid-season bloom period.
Very tall (44 inches, or 113 cm) but well able to support the flowers.
The name reflects the originator’s impression that the flower is reminiscent of a crater on the moon, or a volcano.
3-5-eye roots
