Paeonia 'Gardenia' 6/2022 Lactiflora U1-
Paeonia 'Gardenia' 6/2022 Lactiflora U1- (Lins, 1948) (3-DB-WH) Lactiflora Cultivar Peony, Mature plant size: 30in., WHITE, Medium height, double, white petals, large flower, occasional yellow stamen, sidebuds, redish stems, midseason bloomer , USDA Hardiness Zone 3-8, Michigan Bloom Week ISO WW22, In Garden Bed U1 for 4.7 YEARS (Hollingsworth). Planted in 2017.
American Peony Society: Although shown first time in 1949, peony experts have already given it their approval. The perfect plants with strong stems, which hold the large bloom perfectly erect, are loaded each year with very large double, beautifully formed Gardenia like bloom. The form, texture and substance of the bloom suggested its name. Cut in bud the bloom is flesh, and when allowed to bloom on the plant the bloom is a beautiful giant gardenia formed white. It won the CHAMPION RIBBON in flesh class in 1950. Good garden and show variety. You can win with Gardenia. Blooms midseason.
Bred by Mr. E. H. Lins of Cologne, Minnesota and released in 1948. Named 'Gardenia' because it looks like a Gardenia (Would make a good question for the "Stupid Answers" category on Jeopardy). Dark green and fairly coarse foliage.
