Comments:
Milton Jack, the founder of Ferncliff Gardens in British Columbia, grew peonies commercially for decades and introduced three peonies. I only grow two of them but this is by far the best in my opinion. The flowers are beautifully formed and deliciously fragrant. Fragrance is a rarity in peonies this colour. </html
