Disappointed---Wrong Peony

10 years ago
last modified: 10 years ago

I ordered my first peony, Eden's Perfume, from White Flower Farm in the Fall of 2014. Eden's Perfume is a pink, double-flowered peony. It has a lush look and is highly scented. It is a fairly short peony which is what I wanted because it is at the front of the border.

There were no flowers last year. This year it flowered for the first time. There was one flower. The bud was pink, but when it opened the flower was a white/cream semi-double with a small splotch of dark pink in the center. It was fragrant. It is not Eden's Perfume.

I do not know what variety it is. It is "all right" but it is not the peony that I wanted. I do not know what size it will be when full grown. I emailed White Flower Farm and they will be sending me Eden's Perfume in the Fall. I will plant it even though I do not have a great spot for it. I will have to take out a small boxwood. I will keep the peony that grew, even though it is not what I wanted.
