Notes:
Une pivoine qui est vraiment jaune! Gagnante de la médaille
d'or de l'American Peony Society en 1996.
Si je pouvais
planter seulement une pivoine jaune, cette merveille serait mon
choix. Elle est moins haute que la moyenne des pivoines.
Vigoureuse. Florifère. Parce que je ne semble pas être
capable de produire suffisamment de cette pivoine pour répondre
à la demande, certains plants livrés cet automne
proviendront de mon champ, alors que d'autres proviendront de la
pépinière de Don Hollingsworth (le pépiniériste
qui a introduit cette plante en 1984).
