‘Gilded Splendour’

‘Gilded Splendour’A rockstar among peonies, Gilded Splendour is an incredible example of a Japanese type flower. To gaze upon her is to imagine an artist delicately tracing the edge of each staminoid in gold, the effect of which is utterly gorgeous and quite unique. Flowering mid season, this is both a rare and very special variety, and a great garden performer. 85cm.

This variety seems to be in everyone's Top Five and for very good reason

with those strong chunky stems she is wonderful in the garden

New foliage in early spring is a lovely smoky burgundy shade and the flowers appear at the same time as the early tree peonies here

Of all the magnificent pink peonies the world has to offer

very upright stems and bright green foliage

frilly 'Jadwiga' seems to be of European origin

It even has a faint fragrance

and a delightful addition to the front of the border

silken-petalled

Mann/van Steen

all round peony for the garden or for picking

but the payback for your patience is the rare and delicious colour of her blooms
