Tuber. A century-and-a-half after its introduction, this fragrant double remains a standard by which all other white Peonies are judged. Strong stems give the blossoms an aristocratic bearing; a touch of yellow at the base of the dense, ruffled inner petals lights them up with a warm glow.

Likes full sun and a good frost or two as peonies do like the cold in the winter. Deciduous.
