Elise Renault. (Doriat, 1927.) Lilac. Not yet in general commerce.
ELISE RENAULT (Doriat, 1927) - Double - Pink - Midseason. Medium height. More nearly approaching a perfect sphere in form than any other peony; this silvery lilac flower, borne on strong upright stems, with its petals not too crowded nor too loose to become ragged, makes a sight that is not soon to be forgotten. List in Bulletin 60. M.
