A type of Paeonia obovata subsp.willmottiae ( Hong De- Yuan )
This alba form is propably one of the most delicate peonies for the woodland garden.
Superb cup-shaped, pure white flowers above coppery coloured leaves. Later in the season the leaves turn to a metallic grey-green. Brilliant blue seeds contrast with scarlet infertile ones.
A fantastic ethereal beauty for a sheltered position, away from icy spring winds.
If you ever get the chance to see it, you'll never forget it !
