Description
Paeonia lactiflora 'Brother Chuck' is a stunning variety boasting pink tinged buds with a hint of green, which open up to beautiful rose-shaped double white flowers. The softly scented flowers contrast perfectly with the dark green lush foliage. Despite its sturdy stems, the large flowers require some additional support, but this plant is definitely worth the extra effort. Several buds per stem prolong the flowering period of this magnificent cut flower.
Named after Roy Klehm's brother, Carl, who loved the excitement of the peony conventions and displaying flowers for so many people to enjoy.
Years ago, I visited Song Sparrow Farm & Nursery and asked Jose which plant I should definitely get. This one was one of his preferred list, and Roy fortunately agreed to sell me some. Click here for more information on the Klehm family.
