Peony 'Nancy Nora'

Peony 'Nancy Nora'

Description

Paeonia lactiflora 'Nancy Nora'. If perfection is your thing, this perfectly formed, double, soft pink flower deserves a place in your garden. The flowers have a long vase life, making a room fragrant with one flower.

A successful cross between 'Walter Faxon' and 'Lady Alexandra Duff', both noted for their soft fragrance, 'Nancy Nora' has a captivating scent. While some describe it as a rose geranium, I simply call it the scent of sweets –  and, like sweets, I cannot get enough of it. A favourite with visitors to our fields. 

Registered with the 'American Peony Society' in 1942.
