Solaris: Tranquil Dove. Saunders/Rogers. 1995. Herbaceous hybrid. Tranquil Dove is one of the more unique peonies we grow and is irreplaceable in our eyes. The small plants typically grow to about 28 inches, have very sturdy stems and commence flowering in the early part of bloom season. Plants have wide deep green glossy foliage. The flowers are an exquisite soft cream overlaid in pink. The pink shading is darker near the ruffled petal edges. Red filaments, yellow stamens and red stigmas create a gorgeous affect. Flowers are dainty at about 4 inches in diameter and face upward. An extra bonus comes at dividing time; the interior of the roots are a deep lavender color! Fertile both ways. Appears to be most compatible with tetraploids and has produced very interesting seedlings. (Halcyon x self). Very hardy and of easy culture.

 

American Peony Society: Parentage Halcyon (Halcyon F2). This hybrid is a white, rosy pink overlay single. It has good substance, stamen and pollen. An early flower 20-24 inches in height, good stem strength with 4-5 inch bloom. Small dark green foliage. This plant was a gift to Chris Laning from Silvia Saunders. Registered, and distribution by Caprice Farm Nursery.
