Planted in 2019.
APS Registration: PEPPERMINT PATTI (Krekler-Roy Klehm), June, 1994. Semi-double lactiflora, white with red streaks and flares. Flat form, stamens, pollen, seeds, slightly fragrant. Excellent reliability. Beautifully twisted and fluted white petals with unusual red streaks, splotches and flares. Some light green flaring, also. Nicely contrasting red topped stigmas compliment the color of the flares. Very unique flower form. Good stem strength, 30" in height. Early, good, healthy green foliage.
The buds on this root were rotted. Also a very small root. Trimmed off the rotted growth and planted. Bloomed in 2022, does not appear to be true to name. Purchased from G.H. Wild. After a 3 year wait, I have a NOID peony. Delightful!
