Peony Show Girl

Peony 'Show Girl'

Description

Paeonia herbaceous hybrid 'Show Girl'. This early-flowering diva boasts deep pink petals that surround a domed cream heart. Once mature plant, swirling pink petals ad a touch of glamour.

It has a gentle fragrance. The side buds ensure a long flowering period. The flowers are a vibrant addition to any early season pink colour combination, whether in a creative flower arrangement or in your garden.

After flowering, the flowers turn into large seed capsules that can remain on adult plants.

This is one of Don Hollingsworth's earlies hybrids, a cross between P. 'Dawn Pink' and P. 'Echo'.  

Registered in 1984.
